Health Services

Mr. Benton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much public funding has been spent on health in Bootle in each of the last seven years. [171482]

Miss Melanie Johnson: The information is not available in the format requested. Expenditure per weighted head in the Cheshire and Merseyside Strategic Health Authority (SHA) area, which includes the constituency of Bootle, has increased from £596.24 in 1997–98 to £1,103.34 in 2002–03 (the latest year available). This does not represent the total expenditure per head as an element of health expenditure cannot be identified by SHA area.

Mr. Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what changes he expects in the number of patients requiring health services in the constituency of Huntingdon over the next 10 years; and if he will make a statement. [172634]

Dr. Ladyman: Following the "Shifting the Balance of Power" initiative, it is for primary care trusts (PCTs) in partnership with health authorities and other local stakeholders to plan and commission local services for their local populations.

I understand that Huntingdonshire district council anticipates an increase in population from 158,000 in 2002 to 163,800 by 2011.

17 May 2004 : Column 802W

Huntingdonshire PCT is working with its local partners to ensure that services meet the future needs of an increased population.

Mr. Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the benefits for residents of the constituency of Huntingdon of the Health Development Agency. [172638]

Dr. Ladyman: The Department has not required the Health Development Agency (HDA) to assess its effect separately at constituency level.

Much of the East of England regional work of the HDA, which includes Huntingdon, is focussed on service delivery that supports the whole of the region's public health development, particularly around cancer, coronary heart disease and respiratory diseases, national healthy schools standards and the ageing population.

Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of NHS staff working in Greater London hospitals, broken down by national health service trust, receive financial assistance with regard to (a) housing and (b) transportation. [170508]

Mr. Hutton: The information requested is not held centrally.

Information on the number of healthcare workers who have benefited from Government assistance in purchasing their own homes under the Starter Home Initiative scheme by the end of March 2004 broken down by London national health service trust is collected and is contained in the following table.
