Genetically Modified Organisms
Mr. Sheerman:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what labelling requirements are in place for products containing genetically modified organisms. [63623]
18 Apr 2006 : Column 390W
Caroline Flint:
EC Regulation 1829/2003 requires that foods which contain or consist of genetically modified organisms, or are produced from or contain ingredients produced from genetically modified organisms should be labelled.
Labelling does not apply to foods which contain genetically modified material up to 0.9 per cent., provided that this presence is adventitious or technically unavoidable.
Heart Operations
Peter Viggers:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what has been the cause of recent delays in heart operations in South Hampshire; and what the average period of delay has been in cases categorised as urgent in the last 12 months. [63638]
Caroline Flint:
The recent and unexpected closure of the King Edward VII hospital (within Surrey and Sussex Strategic Health Authority) has had a large impact on the provision of cardiac surgery for the resident populations of Fareham and Gosport Primary Care Trust (PCT), East Hampshire PCT and Portsmouth City PCT.
King Edward VII was, along with Southampton University Hospitals national health service trust, a main local centre for cardiac surgery. The hospital fulfilled a need for a private provider under patient choice guidelines, and had strong clinical links with both Southampton and Portsmouth hospitals.
Information about the average period of delay in cases categorised as urgent is not collected centrally.
London Hospitals
Lynne Featherstone:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospital beds were available in each London hospital in each of the last five years. [62506]
Jane Kennedy:
The information requested is collected at trust level only. The table shows data for the past five years. The data are also available on the Department's website at:www.performance.doh.gov.uk/hospitalactivity/data_re quests/beds_open_overnight.htm.
