NHS Treatment (Older People)
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of people received NHS treatment in (a) England and (b) the London borough of Havering in the last period for which figures are available were aged over 60 years. [189222]
Dr. Ladyman: Information on the full range of national health service services provided in NHS hospitals, through community and primary care, and through other NHS services is not available in the form requested.
Revenue funding is allocated to primary care trusts on the basis of the relative needs of their populations. A weighted capitation formula is used to determine each PCT's target share of available resources based on the
4 Oct 2004 : Column 1990W
age distribution of the population, additional need over and above that accounted for by age, and the unavoidable geographical variations in the cost of providing services. Residents of each locality will also benefit from publicly-funded public health programmes and through services such as NHSDirect.
In Havering, about 22.8 per cent. of residents are aged 60 years or more compared to a national average of about 20.8 per cent. This is reflected in the method used to calculate the resources to be allocated.
NHS Trust Funding
Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much central funding was provided to each London NHS trust for 2004–05. [189223]

However, some central capital funding is allocated to NHS trusts. The table shows operational capital allocations for 2004–05 for each London NHS trust.

Oldchurch Hospital
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of accident and emergency services at Oldchurch Hospital in the London borough of Havering. [189247]
Mr. Hutton: The effectiveness of local accident and emergency services are assessed by local commissioners.
The national health service is committed to reducing to four hours the maximum wait in accident and emergency from arrival, transfer or discharge by the end of 2004.
Latest figures show that in Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospitals NHS Trust (of which Oldchurch Hospital is a part of) 87.9 per cent. of patients are spending less than four hours in accident and emergency departments.
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many official complaints have been received by the Department about Oldchurch Hospital in the London Borough of Havering in each of the last 10 years. [189252]
Mr. Hutton: The information requested is not collected centrally.
Local trusts, in partnership with their health community, have responsibility for local services and the support systems, which they have put in place, and a corresponding responsibility to improve upon these. It is therefore appropriate that they investigate complaints and respond accordingly.
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress Oldchurch Hospital in the London Borough of Havering has made towards meeting the Government's targets for waiting lists. [189253]
Mr. Hutton:
The Department does not collect data for individual hospitals. However, data for Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospitals National Health
4 Oct 2004 : Column 1992W
Service Trust, of which Oldchurch Hospital is a part, shows that the trust has hit the Government's targets for waiting times.
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent discussions he has had with the management of Oldchurch Hospital in the London Borough of Havering. [189254]
Mr. Hutton: My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State and Ministers have had no discussions recently with the management of Oldchurch Hospital.
In line with our policy of Shifting the Balance of Power, the Department does not routinely become involved in the day-to-day management of the National Health Service at local level. It is now for primary care trusts (PCTs), in partnership with strategic health authorities, and other local stakeholders to plan develop and improve services for local people.
We recognise that health services are better when management is devolved to the frontline. Within the framework set out in the NHS Plan, and other policy documents, PCTs with their specialised knowledge of the local community are able to effectively manage and improve local services.
Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to visit Oldchurch Hospital in the London Borough of Havering. [189256]
Mr. Hutton: There are currently no plans to visit Oldchurch Hospital in the London Borough of Havering. Any invitations received will be given consideration.
