Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 30 March 2004, Official Report, column 83WS, on NHS charges, what the cost of providing (a) sight tests, (b) dental check-ups and (c) prescription charges free on the NHS will be following the changes. [166430]

Ms Rosie Winterton: The estimated additional annual cost to the national health service in England following the changes to the National Health Service (Travel Expenses and Remissions of Charges) Regulations from 6 April 2004 is as follows:

provision of free sight tests—around £6,000;

provision of free dental treatment—around £70,000 (the additional cost of provision of free dental check-ups has not been identified separately; and

loss of prescription charge revenue—around £580,000.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is on childcare provision for NHS staff. [162997]

10 May 2004 : Column 177W

Mr. Hutton: The National Health Service childcare strategy has a key role to play in the recruitment, retention and return of staff to the NHS.

The NHS Plan introduced the idea of a childcare strategy, as part of the improving working lives standard. National targets were set for 150 new on-site nurseries providing an additional 7,500 subsidised places, and for all NHS staff to have access to a childcare co-ordinator. Over £70 million has been made available for this over the three years from April 2001.

So far, 140 new nursery schemes, new builds or extensions to existing nurseries, have been opened or are in the pipeline, which will provide an extra 6,000 new nursery places for NHS staff. Further schemes are being considered.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many children of NHS staff use NHS-provided childcare facilities. [163059]

Mr. Hutton: The national health service childcare strategy has a key role to play in the recruitment, retention and return of staff to the NHS.

We do not keep central figures on the numbers of NHS staff using NHS provided childcare facilities.

Mr. Yeo: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of calls to NHS Direct were resolved by NHS Direct without the need for further NHS intervention in the last year for which figures are available. [162055]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Last year NHS Direct handled 6,427,321 calls and the proportion of these calls to NHS Direct that were resolved by NHS Direct without the need for further NHS intervention in the last year for which figures are available was 44.3 per cent.

10 May 2004 : Column 178W

Mr. Baron: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what percentage of new nursing recruits into the NHS have been recruited through recruitment agencies which have not signed up to the Government's code of practice on ethical recruitment; [170315]

(2) what percentage of all nursing recruits into the NHS have been through recruitment agencies. [170316]

Mr. Hutton [holding answer 4 May 2004]: This information is not held centrally.

National health service trusts should use only those commercial agencies which comply with the Code of Practice and which are listed on the Department's website.

Mr. Baron: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the country of origin was of nurses recruited into the NHS from overseas in each of the last five years for which figures are available. [170317]

Mr. Hutton [holding answer 4 May 2004]: The Department does not collect information on the country of origin of nurses recruited to the national health service.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council holds information on the number of admissions of nurses and midwives to the register by country. This information is available on the Council's website on www.nmc-uk.org.

Mr. Baron: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what mechanisms are in place to ensure the Government can guarantee that no recruitment agencies are used by the NHS to recruit nurses which have not signed up to the Government's code of practice on ethical recruitment. [170318]

Mr. Hutton [holding answer 4 May 2004]: National health service trusts should use only those commercial agencies which comply with the Code of Practice and which are listed on the Department's website.

Strategic health authorities (SHAs) are working with trusts to ensure they comply with the Code of Practice and only work with agencies who are compliant.

This is in line with the government policy as it is for primary care trusts in partnership with SHAs and other local stakeholders to determine how best to meet national and local priorities for improving health, tackling health inequalities and modernising services.

Jim Dobbin: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS therapists were located in Heywood and Middleton in each of the last seven years. [168485]
