NHS National Plan

Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the sponsors of the NHS national plan consultation leaflet and the public consultation to inform the NHS national plan. [12722]

Mr. Hutton: The Department funded the NHS national plan consultation leaflet and the public consultation to inform the NHS national plan. There were no sponsors involved.

Logos

Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the cost was of developing the new logo for the Commission for Health Improvement. [12723]

Mr. Hutton: The cost of developing the logo for the Commission for Health Improvement was £2,115.

Prescription Pricing Authority

Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the gross expenditure of the Prescription Pricing Authority was in relation to the monitoring of prescriptions in the last 12 months. [10781]

Ms Blears: The annual gross expenditure of the Prescription Pricing Authority for the financial year 2000–01 was £62,340,000. Included in this was the sum of £1,238,000 for monitoring patient compliance with the current prescription charging arrangements.

Chiropodists

Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received on behalf of independent private sector chiropodists and podiatrists in respect of the draft Health Professions Council Order; and if he will place them in the Library. [12782]

Mr. Hutton: We hope shortly to lay before the House a report on the outcome of consultations. We have no plans to publish individual responses, but their authors are free to do so.

Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what plans he has to amend the draft Health Professions Council Order to provide for independent private sector chiropodists and podiatrists to be represented on the Health Professions Council; [12783]

Mr. Hutton: No. There is scope on the Health Professions Council for one registrant member of each profession regulated by the council. The council will be able to recruit additional members to its committees including its professional advisory panels, and will be encouraged to cover all sectors of the professions.

6 Nov 2001 : Column: 230W

Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his assessment is of the level of expertise of chiropodists and podiatrists trained by the SMAE Institute. [12784]

Mr. Hutton: The assessment of qualifications for the purposes of state registration is a matter for the Chiropodists Board of the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine.

I can confirm however that officials have been facilitating meetings with the registered and unregistered sector, which includes the SMAE Institute, to open dialogue between the two sectors. An agreement was reached at the last meeting in October for the unregistered sector to submit their course documentation for assessment. So far no documentation has been received.

Cancer Services

Mr. Jack: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his Department's target is, under the National Cancer Plan, for the number of CT scanners per thousand of the population. [11887]

Jacqui Smith: In 2000 there were approximately five machines per million head of population in England. By the time the investment programme in computer tomography scanners is completed in 2004 that figure will have risen to seven per million.

Mr. Jack: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the criteria employed in determining which (a) hospitals and (b) cancer centres will receive help from the Cancer Capital Modernisation Fund CT Scanner Replacement Programme 2000 to 2003. [11886]

Jacqui Smith: The clear criterion announced in January 2000 was based on the age of the scanners in the national health service at that time. By 2004 all computer tomograpy scanners in the NHS will be no more than 10 years old.

No distinction was made in applying the above criterion between scanners for cancer centres and those for other hospitals.

Adoption

Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children were placed for adoption in each year since 1998 broken down by local authority as a percentage of the number (a) in care and (b) of the total population of 18 years and under. [12925]

Jacqui Smith: The information requested is shown in the table. The answer to part (b) of the question has been expressed as rates per 10,000 resident population aged 17 and under.

The numbers of adopted children increased from 2,200 in 1998–99 to 2,700 in 1999–2000 and 3,100 in 2000–01. This equated to 4.0 per cent. in the looked after population in 1998–99, 4.7 per cent. in 1999–2000 and 5.2 per cent. of the looked after population in 2000–01.
