Arrhythmias and Sudden Death Programme Board

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if she will make a statement on the representation from Northern Ireland on the new Arrhythmias and Sudden Death Programme Board; [11355]

(2) whether the new National Service Framework chapter on arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death extends to Northern Ireland. [11237]

Ms Rosie Winterton [holding answer 13 July 2005]: Chapter eight of the national service framework for coronary heart disease, Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death", was written and produced in consultation with a large expert group, including members from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The Arrhythmias and Sudden Death Programme Board has been formed to implement the chapter but with the membership limited. Devolved Administrations such as Northern Ireland will not be represented on the board because it is responsible for implementation of the new chapter in England.

Asthma

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) adults and (b) children in Portsmouth are suffering from asthma. [12823]

Caroline Flint: The Department does not centrally hold the information requested on the number of people suffering from asthma. However, the Health and Social Care Information Centre is due to publish data shortly about the numbers of people in each primary care trust area recorded with asthma in 2004–05, which will be available on their website.

Bedfordshire Health Spending

Mrs. Dorries: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent per capita from central Government funds on health in the county of Bedfordshire in each year since 2000. [11005]

Ms Rosie Winterton: The expenditure per weighted head on health in Bedfordshire Health Authority (HA) area, which corresponded to the county of Bedfordshire

19 Jul 2005 : Column 1662W

and Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Strategic Health Authority (SHA) area is shown in the table. Expenditure based on the county of Bedfordshire is not available for 2002–03 and 2003–04.
£ per head

Bedfordshire Health Authority area Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Strategic Health Authority area

2002–03 n/a 939.08

2003–04 n/a 1,061.38

Notes:
1. Expenditure is taken from audited HA summarisation forms and primary care trust summarisation schedules which are prepared on a resource basis and therefore differ from cash allocations in the year. The figures have not been adjusted for inflation.
2. Figures for 2000–01 and 2001–02 have been prepared using gross expenditure figures. Figures for 2002–03 and 2003–04 have been adjusted to eliminate expenditure which would be double counted where an authority acts as a lead in commissioning health care or other services.
3. In many HAs there are factors which distort the expenditure. These include:
the HA acting in a lead capacity to commission healthcare or fund training on behalf of other health bodies; and
asset revaluations in national health service trusts being funded through HAs or primary
care trusts (PCTs).
4. The majority of general dental services expenditure is separately accounted for by the Dental Practice board. An element of pharmaceutical services expenditure is accounted for by the Prescription Pricing Authority. Total expenditure on these items by the Dental Practice Board and the Prescription Pricing Authority cannot be allocated to individual health bodies. Therefore, the total expenditure in the answer by health authority does not capture all NHS expenditure within the area.
