House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 20 May 2004 (pt 22)

20 May 2004 : Column 1181W—continued

Disposable Surgical Instruments

Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how frequently and for what type of surgeries disposable instruments are used in NHS hospitals; [173177]

(2) what research he has commissioned on the possible risk of haemorrhages when using disposable instruments during operations; [173178]

(3) what action he would take in response to research which showed a correlation between using disposable instruments and increased risk of haemorrhages. [173179]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Single-use instruments are used in a range of surgical procedures. The Department does not collect data on the frequency and the type of procedures where single-use instruments are used.

The Department has not commissioned any research on the possible risk of haemorrhaging when single-use instruments are used. The national prospective tonsillectomy audit is looking at different techniques used in tonsillectomies, including the use of single-use instruments.

The Chief Medical Officer has asked the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) to issue guidance on the safety of single-use instruments in tonsillectomies following the initial findings of the national prospective tonsillectomy audit. NICE issued interim guidance on the use of diathermy on 24 March and definitive guidance will be issued after it has conducted a full review.

20 May 2004 : Column 1182W

Eating Disorders

Brian Cotter: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total cost was of formulating the National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines on the treatment of eating disorders. [172476]

Ms Rosie Winterton: The estimated cost of formulating the National Institute for Clinical Excellence's guidance on eating disorders was about £240,000.

Fossetts Farm

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health when work on Fossetts Farm for the new NHS treatment centre will begin; and if he will make a statement. [174149]

Dr. Ladyman: Southend Primary Care Trust has lodged a planning application with Southend borough council for the new treatment centre at Fossetts Farm.

Health Services

Mr. Laxton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people aged over 60 in Derby, North have benefited from the abolition of charges for eye tests; and what percentage this represents of over 60-years-olds in Derby, North. [173741]

Dr. Ladyman: Figures for the number of sight tests by constituency, or senior citizens are not collected centrally.

In 2002–03, the total number of national health service sight tests paid for patients aged 60 and over in Trent Strategic Health Authority was 231,650. The total number eligible for free sight test for those aged 60 and over was 584,620.

Sight tests can not be equated to the numbers of patients. Although most people do not come back for a sight test within the year, some patients suffering from medical conditions are advised to have re-examinations sooner.

Mr. Meale: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS doctors were working within Nottinghamshire health authority areas in each year since 1997. [173524]

Dr. Ladyman: The information requested is shown in the tables.
