Health Service Inequalities
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to tackle inequalities in health services. [150378]
Yvette Cooper:
The NHS Plan published in July 2000 sets out targets for the National Health Service and social services which are focused on delivering fast, convenient and people centred services. They are aimed at providing the highest standards of care, tackling the major causes of disease and reducing inequalities in health and in access to health services. These include national health inequalities targets to narrow the gap between socio-economic groups and between deprived areas and the rest of the country, a review of the existing weighted capitation formula with reducing inequalities a key criterion for allocating NHS resources, new partnerships between health and social services to tackle inequalities, improved access to primary care for all patients, and more and better screening programmes.
E.coli
Mr. McDonnell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many outbreaks of E.coli there were in (a) 1996, (b) 1997, (c) 1998, (d) 1999 and (e) 2000; how many people were affected in each year; and how many fatalities were linked to these outbreaks. [150318]
Ms Stuart:
The table gives details of all general outbreaks of verocytotoxin-producing E.coli O157 infection in England and Wales reported to the Public Health Laboratory Service Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre and Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens in each year from 1996 to 2000. The table also shows the number of laboratory-confirmed cases and the number of fatalities linked to these outbreaks.

Cruse Bereavement Care
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley:

26 Feb 2001 : Column: 442W
Bereavement Care concerning the role they might play in alleviating the distress of relatives following the removal of internal organs from deceased people. [R] [150400]
Mr. Denham:
Officials have contacted Cruse Bereavement Care to obtain their consent for NHS Direct to provide their national phone number if a specific request to be put in touch with the organisation was made by a caller inquiring about the removal of organs following post-mortem.
Health Authority Allocations
Ms Buck:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list, for each health authority, the difference between its capitation targets and allocation in cash and percentage terms (a) prior to and (b) following their 2001-02 allocations. [150528]
Mr. Denham:

(60) Distances from target have changed since 2000-01 as a result of adjustments to initial 2000-01 allocations and changes to data, ie the updating of population and other data sources used in the weighted capitation formula.

Ms Buck:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what basis health authorities were selected for a Years of Life Lost allocation; how Years of Life Lost allocations took into account the age-profile of the population; which health authorities received Years of Life Lost allocations; and which health authorities would qualify for the allocation had it been weighted for the age profile of the population. [150527]
Mr. Denham:
Allocations to health authorities for 2001-02 include an adjustment based on rates of years of
26 Feb 2001 : Column: 444W
life lost (YLL) for circulatory diseases, all cancers, accidents, suicides and undetermined injury. £70 million was shared between the 47 health authorities with rates at or above 137 on the YLL index. The health authorities that received the YLL adjustment are shown in the table.
The YLL index takes account of the age structure of the population. Other things being equal, a health authority with an older population is likely to have a higher YLL rate than a health authority with a younger population.

Ms Buck:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much of the current year's allocation to health authorities was directed towards moving health authorities closer to their capitation targets; and what the (a) cash and (b) percentage difference between allocation and capitation target was in each case, in each of the last three years. [150529]
Mr. Denham:
Health authorities received an additional £2.79 billion with 2000-01 allocations. £110 million was directed specifically towards moving under target health authorities closer to their capitation targets.
The cash and percentage differences between allocation and capitation target (distance from target) for each of the last three years are shown in the table.
