Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Government's proposals for reform of water rates in Northern Ireland are intended to be revenue-neutral. [12078]

Mr. Woodward: Unlike in England and Wales, domestic customers in Northern Ireland do not pay separate water charges.

It is important to note that a report of an adverse drug reaction does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the drug. Many factors have to be taken into account in assessing causal relationships including temporal association, the possible contribution of concomitant medication and the underlying disease. It is particularly important to note that causality has not been established for fatal reports.

Adverse Drug Reactions (Older People)

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate she has made of the number of bed days lost due to adverse drug reactions in (a) 50 to 64-year-olds, (b) 65 to 74-year-olds and (c) over 75-year-olds in each of the last five years. [6656]

Jane Kennedy: No estimate has been made by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the number of bed days lost due to adverse drug reactions. The MHRA has, however funded a study conducted from November 2001 to April 2002, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) on 2 July 2004 1 , conducted in two large hospitals in Merseyside. This suggested that adverse drug reactions account for 6.5 per cent. of hospital admissions. The median bed stay was eight days, accounting for 4 per cent. of the hospital bed capacity. Patients admitted with adverse drugs reactions, who were of a median age of 76 years, were significantly older than patients without adverse drug reactions, who were of a median age of 66 years. A copy of the BMJ article is available in the Library.

Alcohol-related Illnesses

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 11 July 2005, Official Report, column 728W, to the hon. Member for Southend West, (Mr. Amess) on hospitals (alcohol-related cases), what equivalent information is available for (a) Greater London, (b) each strategic health authority and (c) each NHS trust in London. [13481]

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. Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between one and five have been suppressed and replaced with *.
3. The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002–03) diagnosis fields in the hospital episode statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
4. Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data, that is, the data is ungrossed.
