Care Homes (London)

Mr. Randall: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) nursing and (b) residential homes have closed in each London borough in each year since 1997. [28490]

Jacqui Smith: The number of residential care homes and nursing homes ¹ for each year since 1997 is given in the tables.

Information on nursing homes is collected at health authority rather than local authority level.

¹ General and mental nursing homes, private hospitals and clinics. Includes dual registered homes, therefore the number of residential homes and nursing homes should not be added together.

Children's Hospices

Mr. Reed: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what recent discussions he has had with the Children's Hospice Movement about their funding from the NHS; and if he will make a statement; [28515]

Yvette Cooper: I have not been in recent discussion with the Children's Hospice Movement, however officials in the Department maintain a line of communication with the Association of Children's Hospices, particularly but not exclusively on the subject of funding. This includes the role to be played by the New Opportunities Fund which, later this year, will invite applications for finance in support of projects to assist children with life threatening illnesses.

30 Jan 2002 : Column 427W

Funding available from primary care trusts for services provided by children's hospices is subject to local negotiation. Guidance was issued in February 1998, "Evaluation of the Pilot Project Programme for Children with Life Threatening Illnesses" which addresses the range of options available including hospice care. Regional offices of the Department have been asked to work with health professionals and agencies to identify current service provision and any gaps in this provision, with a view to obtaining a better strategic fit.

As we develop the National Service Framework (NSF) for children we will consider the needs of disabled children, including those whose disability is sadly of a life threatening nature and for whom respite care at a children's hospice is the option of choice. Francine Bates, chief executive of Contact-A-Family, is chairing the Disabled Child Working Group, one of six working groups which are developing detailed advice on the content of the NSF.

Monitored Dosage Medicines

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with primary care groups and trusts concerning the handling charge on monitored dosage medicines being introduced by Boots the Chemists. [28655]

Ms Blears: We have had no such discussions.

30 Jan 2002 : Column 428W

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many patients of the NHS receive monitored dosage medicines; [28654]

Ms Blears: Monitored dosage systems and other multi-compartment medicines compliance aids are widely used, especially by residents of care homes. We do not, however, hold any information centrally about the number of national health service patients whose medicines are dispensed in this way, nor about how many of those patients are entitled to free prescriptions.

Health Trusts (Leeds)

Mr. Truswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) nurses, (b) doctors, broken down by specialty and (c) consultants, broken down by specialty were employed by trusts in Leeds in (i) 1997, (ii) 1998, (iii) 1999, (iv) 2000 and (v) 2001. [28978]

Mr. Hutton: The number of nurses employed by trusts in Leeds in the years 1997 to 2000 are shown in table 1. The number of doctors and consultants, broken down by specialty, employed in the Leeds health authority area in the years 1997 to 2000 are shown in table 2. Data are not held on the number of doctors and consultants, broken down by specialty, employed by trusts. Figures for 2001 are not yet available.
