Parliamentary Questions

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she expects to answer questions (a) 28223 tabled on 14 November 2005 and (b) 29705 tabled on 11 November 2005 by the hon. Member for Yeovil. [40645]

8 Feb 2006 : Column 1324W

Ms Rosie Winterton: I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 2 February 2006, Official Report, columns 718–19W, and to the reply given to him by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health on 19 December 2005, Official Report, column 2636W.

Pension Liability

Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the level of pension liability is for health sector workers. [46797]

Mr. Byrne: The Government Actuary's Department has valued the total liabilities of the NHS Pension Scheme as at 31 March 2005 to be £127.9 billion. The NHS Pension Scheme covers staff directly employed in the national health service; staff employed in general practices; and, under specific direction from the Secretary of State for Health, staff employed in other organisations including health charities, universities, and other government departments who are engaged in healthcare related activities.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Justine Greening: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many NHS in-patient beds are available for the specialist treatment of those with post-traumatic stress disorder or related conditions. [49187]

(2) how many NHS in-patient beds are available for the specialist treatment of those with post-traumatic stress disorder and related conditions. [49473]

Ms Rosie Winterton [holding answers 6 and 7 February 2006]: National health service beds are allocated to in-patients on the basis of clinical need, and beds are not set aside for the management of specific medical conditions.

NHS organisations were given guidance on the management of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in primary and secondary care by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in March 2005. Local NHS organisations should review their existing clinical guidelines, care pathways and protocols in the treatment and management of PTSD in the light of this guidance, and revise them accordingly.

The NICE guidance is available on its website at www.nice.org.uk/CG026NICEguideline This guidance should be used in conjunction with the national service framework for mental health, which is available on the Department's website at www.dh.gov.uk/assetRoot/04/07/72/09/04077209.pdf

Primary Care Trusts (Financial Deficits)

Anne Milton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many primary care trusts incurred financial deficits in (a) 2003–04 and (b) 2004–05; and how many she expects will be in deficit at the end of 2005–06. [46029]

Mr. Byrne: In 2003–04, 41 primary care trusts (PCTs) posted a deficit. In 2004–05, 90 PCTs posted a deficit. 70 PCTs are forecasting a deficit for 2005–06 at month six.

Private Finance Initiative

John Hemming: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total capital sum is of each of the private finance initiative schemes over £10 million (a) in operation and (b) where the outline business case has been approved for which her Department is responsible; and what the (i) total optimism bias percentage, (ii) net

8 Feb 2006 : Column 1326W

value at commencement and (iii) amount of optimism bias for the public sector comparator is in respect of each scheme. [44806]

Jane Kennedy: Table 1 shows the capital value for all private finance initiative schemes over £10 million which are open. Table 2 shows the capital value for private finance initiative schemes which have reached financial close with work started on site or have advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union. All these schemes have an approved outlined business case.

The requirement to make explicit quantified adjustments for optimism bias in business cases, complementing the risk analysis already undertaken, was announced by Treasury in January 2003 and is applicable to national health service schemes that reached the invitation to negotiate stage from April 2003. Schemes which applied optimism bias are indicated in Table 2. This information is only available for schemes above £25 million. To collect and collate percentages and amounts of optimism for all these schemes could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
