[97442]

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many adverse drug reactions were reported by nurses to the electronic yellow card scheme in January 2003. [97138]
Ms Blears: In January 2003, the Medicines Control Agency and the Committee on Safety of Medicines received two reports of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) submitted by nurses using the electronic yellow card, out of a total of 24 electronic reports of suspected ADRs from all health professionals during this time.
Ms Drown: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information foundation hospitals will cease to need to provide to their strategic health authority, his Department and other regulatory bodies. [99032]
Mr. Hutton: Paragraphs 3.22 and 3.23 of "A Guide to NHS Foundation Trusts" set out our proposals for the provision of financial and statistical information by national health service foundation trusts. Forthcoming legislation will set out the process for defining information requirements for NHS foundation trusts.
Ms Drown: To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether foundation trusts can choose not to have modern matrons. [99033]
Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy to ensure that foundation hospitals cannot disestablish modern matron posts. [98592]
Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether foundation hospitals will have the right to remove modern matron posts. [98710]
Mr. Hutton: National health service foundation trusts will have freedom to put in place the staffing and management structures that ensure the necessary mix of skills to provide the best standard of care to patients.

Modern matron posts have been a very successful innovation and I would expect foundation trusts to take this into account.
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what recent information he has collated on waiting lists for gender reassignment surgery; [93435]
(3) if he will list the locations of providers of gender reassignment surgery that have done NHS commissioned work in each of the last five years; and how many FTE staff, broken down by category, worked at each facility in each year. [93436]
Mr. Hutton: Gender reassignment surgery consists of a series of different surgical procedures, for example, female to male gender reassignment may require a mastectomy and a hysterectomy and a series of operations to construct a phallus. The Department collects Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) from national health service trusts on operations specifically for sexual transformation, but those procedures such as mastectomies or hysterectomies are collected separately and it is not possible to identify if these were carried out as part of a gender reassignment operation. Details of the NHS trusts who have undertaken any operations for sexual transformation in the past five years are listed in the table.
The HES data shows that 89 operations were undertaken for male to female gender reassignment surgery in 200102. No operations for female to male gender reassignment were recorded during this period.
Information on the numbers of psychiatric assessments undertaken for gender dysphoria are currently not collected centrally. The mental health minimum dataset will collect data for the first time on psychiatric assessments from April 2003.
Information on waiting lists and the number of full time equivalent staff and sessions per week devoted to treating patients with gender dysphoria and those working in gender dysphoria clinics is not collected centrally.
