Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what resources have been allocated under the well-being support programme in 2006-07, (a) broken down by primary care trust and (b) in total; what recent assessment she has made of the physical health of people with mental health problems; and if she will make a statement. [87596]

Ms Rosie Winterton: The Department's 2006-07 and 2007-08 revenue allocations to primary care trusts (PCTs) separately identify £211 million in 2006-07 and £342 million in 2007-08 to support the implementation of the “Choosing Health” White Paper.

For the two years covered by this allocation, a total of £14 million has been identified nationally to invest in the well-being support programmes initiative to support the implementation of the “Choosing Health” White Paper commitments. However, only a total amount to cover the implementation of the White Paper has been identified within each PCT’s 2006-07 and 2007-08 revenue allocations. No breakdown of the funding by initiative is shown in the individual PCT’s allocations. It is PCTs' responsibility to decide how to use these funds. That said, the “Choosing Health” White Paper delivery plan sets out in detail the expectations of how this funding should be utilised.

As made clear in the “Choosing Health” White Paper, the Government recognises that people with poor mental health tend to experience worse physical health than the rest of the population. This is why it is supporting well-being support programmes in spearhead PCTs and through the Shift initiative. Guidance for commissioners on well-being support programmes will be published shortly.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of the budget for mental illness was spent on children in the last period for which figures are available. [88027]

In 2004-05 the actual spend on CAMHS was £432.62 million. The predicted spend for 2005-06 was £517.96 million. In 2004-05, primary care trust share of the spend was £360 million in 2004-05 and predicted to rise to £417.96 million in 2005-06. The local authority element was £72.61 million in 2004-05 rising to £99.99 million in 2005-06.

4 Sep 2006 : Column 2130W

(3) how many children have been treated for stammering and other speech impediments in each of the last five years. [88032]
