Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Eastern Health and Social Services Board has sought a business case for implementing new IT systems. [11084]
Mr. Woodward: I refer the hon. Lady to my answer of 14 June 2005, Official Report, column 321W.
Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much funding was provided to faith-based (a) groups and (b) projects in Northern Ireland over the last five years, broken down by (i)Westminster parliamentary constituency and (ii)district council area. [18015]
Mr. Hanson: Government in Northern Ireland recognise the valuable contribution that faith based organisations have made to community life, local regeneration and the provision of a wide range of social activities.
The nature of the information sought is not available as prior to April 2004 Departments did not specifically categorise support to church or faith based groups they were recorded as voluntary community groups. From April 2004 with the establishment of the Northern Ireland Government funding database Departments are now recording the nature of organisations, their activity focus and geographical area of operation. The following table lists funding since 2004 to those organisations which have identified themselves as faith based groups and which council area they operate in. This does not include organisations that may have designated

themselves as charitable, voluntary or community groups which however are led by faith based organisations.

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which health trusts in the Province have commenced their own internal bank staff system; and what costs each has incurred (a) setting up, (b) staffing and (c) operating these systems in each of the last five years. [10355]
Mr. Woodward: Bank staffing arrangements are in place across a number of services and professions across health trusts. Bank nursing systems are the most significant and widespread of these, and are in place at all trusts providing acute services. For most trusts the operation and management of bank staff systems is not readily divisible from their normal workforce management functions. Further information concerning costs of either the bank staff themselves or running such systems could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
