Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the cost to his Department of freezing prescription charges at their current price over the next five years. [173184]
Ms Rosie Winterton: The level of the prescription charge is considered annually and no forecast is made of future charge levels. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of freezing the current charge.
Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many men are being treated for prostate cancer in (a) Lancashire and (b) Chorley. [173762]
Miss Melanie Johnson: The information is not available in the format requested.
In 200203, there were 1,263 finished admission episodes with a primary diagnosis of prostate cancer for Lancashire area, of which 189 were for the area covered by Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust.
Notes:
1. A finished admission episode is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. 2. The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 200203) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HRS) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital. 3. Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed).

David Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what measures are planned to increase the recruitment and retention of psychiatrists in the NHS. [175038]
Ms Rosie Winterton: The Government's agenda to improve the recruitment and retention of psychiatrists is being taken forward by the National Institute for Mental Health in England national workforce programme.
The Department and the Royal College of Psychiatrists have issued a joint action plan providing recommendations to increase the recruitment and overall numbers and the retention of consultant psychiatrists in January. The recommended actions cover the whole career pathway from initial recruitment of medical graduates into psychiatry through to the timing of retirement and improving international recruitment.
The national workforce programme is currently producing an analysis of demand and supply of staff to influence the commissioning of funding for education and training by the workforce development confederations by way of the national workforce numbers advisory board.
The programme is also exploring proposals to create more flexibility between specialist registrar and senior house officer posts with a view to reducing potential difficulties in filling them.
