House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 18 Oct 2001 (pt 19)

Nursing Care

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what estimate he has made of (a) the average length of time a nurse will need to spend per person when using the assessment tool for free nursing care and (b) the number of nurses required to complete the assessment by all self-funders by Christmas; [7481]

Jacqui Smith: [holding answer 15 October 2001]: The testing of the registered nursing care contribution (RNCC) tool has indicated that, on average, determinations take between 50 minutes and one hour to carry out.

By the end of this month, a total of 800 nurses in England will have undergone training in the use of the tool to enable the planned programme of determinations to be completed by the end of December.

The RNCC was developed with the input from a wide variety of organisations, nurses, as well as social services staff and the independent nursing home sector. National health service and independent sector nurses took part in its evaluation.

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if part-funders in nursing homes will be assessed under the free nursing care guidance; when the assessments will commence; when they will be concluded; what levels of payment they will be entitled to; and if he will set out for each health authority how many part-funders there are; [7480]

Jacqui Smith [holding answer 15 October 2001]: Those people who have, prior to 1 October 2001, paid a council towards the cost of their care by a registered nurse (part funders) will be classed as self funders from that date and treated identically. Those people entering nursing homes after 1 October 2001 who would previously have paid a small amount to the council in respect of their care by a registered nurse will no longer need to do so. All self funders currently in a nursing home should have had a determination of their need for the care of a registered nurse carried out by the end of December this year. The actual reductions in the level of payments experienced by this group will vary depending on the level of assessed need and how the council had previously assessed them. Information on the number of people in this group by health authority is not held centrally, but there are thought to be less than 10 per health authority on average in England.

18 Oct 2001 : Column: 1331W

Primary care trusts and health authorities have been asked to ensure that the contracts that they establish with nursing homes reflect the National Health Service contribution towards individuals' costs of nursing care and the expectation that this will result in a similar reduction in people's care home fees.

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on progress towards the payment of individuals eligible for free nursing help since the change in procedures. [8555]

Jacqui Smith: Primary care trusts and health authorities have begun the process of arranging payments to nursing homes in respect of residents who fund the full cost of their nursing care themselves from 1 October. Determinations of individual nursing need are being

carried out by National Health Service registered nurses now, a programme that should be completed by the end of December 2001.

Elderly In-patients

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list for each (a) NHS region and (b) health authority the number of elderly people aged 75 years or over for each quarter from Q1 1999–2000 to Q1 2001–02 for (i) ordinary admissions, (ii) day admissions and (iii) any other category or sub-category of admission for which statistics are collected. [7391]

Jacqui Smith [holding answer 15 October 2001]:The table shows a count of ordinary admission and day case finished consultant episodes by health authority area of residence for patients aged 75 and over in each quarter for 1999–2000. Data for 2000–01 and 2001–02 are not yet published.

1. An FCE is defined as a period of patient care under one consultant in one health care provider. The figures do not represent the number of patients, as one person may have several episodes within the year.

2. Figures in this table have not yet been adjusted for shortfalls in data.
