Mr. Goodman: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people have left employment in his Department because of (a) anxiety, (b) stress, (c) depression and (d) other mental health reasons in each year since 1997. [175671]
Mr. Pearson:
The 11 Departments of the NI Administration and their agencies and the Northern Ireland Office hold readily available information only in respect of the total number of ill-health retirements, details of which are set out in table 1. More detailed information showing the particular cause of actual ill-health retirements could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate costs.
8 Jun 2004 : Column 346W
However figures set out in table 2 show the number of recommendations made by the Occupational Health Service of the Northern Ireland Civil Service for ill-health retirement under the general category of mental and behavioural disorders. Such recommendations would normally result in actual retirement but it should be noted that the date of a recommendation for ill-health retirement may fall into a different financial year from that of the actual retirement.

Mr. Gregory Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many prosecutions there have been in Northern Ireland in each of the past five years of drivers who had in excess of twice the legal limit of alcohol in their blood. [176629]
Mr. Spellar: The Chief Executive of Roads Service (Dr. Malcolm McKibbin) has written directly to the hon. Gentleman in response to this Question
Letter from Dr. Malcolm McKibbin, dated 1 June 2004.
You recently asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland a Parliamentary Question about how many incidents of thefts from cars parked in car parks operated by and on behalf of the Department of Regional Development in Northern Ireland there were in 2003. I have been asked to reply as the issue raised falls within my responsibility as Chief Executive Roads Service has over 370 car parks throughout Northern Ireland, of which 45 per cent. are charged and 55 per cent. are free. During 2003 there were some 126 incidents of theft or attempted theft reported by members of the public to car park staff. However since many car parks are unmanned, there may have been additional cases reported directly to the police.
I hope this information is helpful.
Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many full days General John de Chastelain spent in Northern Ireland between 1 January and 30 April; and what his salary was for the period. [175219]

there were in each of the last five years, broken down by age range; and if he will make a statement. [175162]
Mr. Pearson: The information requested is not directly available. It is not possible to give an exact number of cardiac deaths which occurred suddenly, as information on whether or not a death was sudden is not currently recorded at death registration. Therefore figures have been provided for all heart diseases, sudden cardiac death (so described), acute ischaemic heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias.
