(1) Current expected total volume over the contract period. Independent sector treatment centre (ISTC) contracts stipulate the expected casemix and volume of healthcare to be completed during the five year period of the contract. Actual volumes may change depending on the casemixes that are referred. (2) Procedures completed also include procedures carried out at any interim facilities. Note: Figures are for agreed Wave 1 ISTC contracts and exclude centrally procured contracts such as Gsupp, MRI, CWiCs etc.

Judicial Review

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what occasions an (a) individual and (b) organisation has applied for a judicial review of decisions of her Department in each year since 1997; and what the outcome was of each case where proceedings have been completed. [80484]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The information requested is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Maternity Provision

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Health by what means the implementation by each NHS trust in England of the target that by 2009 all women will have choice over where and how to have their baby will be assessed; and what action will be taken against NHS trusts that fail to meet this target. [83682]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The Department is developing a maternity services delivery plan to offer a framework and guidance to support implementation of the Government’s maternity commitment.

It is for local primary care trusts to determine how services are structured and commissioned to meet the needs of the local population. We will be developing tools to support and monitor delivery of the Government commitment.

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what recent risk analysis she has undertaken of maternity episodes that start in an independent midwife-led unit and are then moved to a consultant-led obstetric unit; and if she will make a statement; [83262]

(2) if she will make a statement on the latest National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence report on maternity care, with particular reference to risk levels in independent midwife-led units. [83263]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: None. It is for local national health service maternity care providers and primary care trusts to ensure that midwife-led care is provided within a framework that enables easy and early transfer of

women and babies who unexpectedly require specialist care. As with other options, the outcomes of these types of care should be regularly audited.

The Department welcomes the publication of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence’s (NICE) draft guidelines on intrapartum care. These guidelines are currently subject to consultation and we will comment on them in accordance with the normal protocol. I am confident that NICE will consider all the comments that are made by the Department in response to its consultation.
