inflation, (b) after public sector inflation and (c) after NHS inflation in each year since 1997–98 at constant 2005–06 prices. [42954]

Mr. Byrne: The following table shows net national health service expenditure in cash terms and converted into 2005–06 prices using the gross domestic product (GDP) deflator index.
 
18 Apr 2006 : Column 246W
 

The latest available index for NHS specific inflation is 2003–04 so net NHS expenditure has been converted into 2003–04 prices.

An index for public sector inflation is not available.

The figures are not on a consistent basis over the years, hence comparisons cannot be readily made between some years.

NHS Standards

Mr. Wallace: To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether the minimum standards set out in the Government publication Your guide to the NHS—getting the most from your national health service" published in January 2001 remain applicable. [59848]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Information on current standards is available through a variety of publications and services, which supersede and improve upon the previous minimum standards in Your guide to the NHS". These publications and services, which take account of the changes in recent years to the national health service and new policy directions, include:

Primary care trusts locally producing Your guide to local health services";

the leaflet, It's Your NHS; developing a more personal service";

the annual Get the right treatment" campaign;

National Standards, Local Action: Health and Social Care Standards and Planning Framework 2005–06–2007–08—the national service frameworks;

nhs.uk and NHS direct online (www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk) websites; and

NHS direct telephone service.

As more comprehensive information is now available, the Department no longer publishes Your guide to the NHS" and the minimum standards set out in the publication no longer apply.

NHS index shows the changes in cost of goods and services in the health service. It is calculated by considering expenditure in the hospital and community health service pay, prices and capital; family health service and other, which includes revenue and capital expenditure on central health miscellaneous services and departmental administration. There was annual movement in these indices prior to 1997–98; for example in 1992–93 the FHS index change was 4.3 per cent. and the NHS index was 5.8 per cent.
