Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the average waiting period was in each board area for NHS (a) hearing aid tests, (b) colonoscopy, (c) neurophysiology, (d) gastroscopy, (e) cystoscopy, (f) bone density scans, (g) MRI scans, (h) echocardiography, (i) barium enema and (j) CT scans in the last period for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [87991]
Paul Goggins: Information on waiting times for each of the diagnostic tests listed (b) to (j) is not routinely collected and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Information on waiting times for hearing aid tests is not held centrally and will take some time to collate. I will write to the hon. Member with the information as soon as it is available and place a copy in the Library.
I fully recognise that many patients are waiting too long for a whole range of diagnostic tests. I am determined to put measures in place to ensure that these waiting times are collected to give a more accurate reflection of the total waiting time patients experience from referral by their GP to completion of their treatment. I have established a dedicated team within the Departments service delivery unit to focus on waiting times for diagnostic tests. An exercise to assess diagnostic capacity and demand is due to be completed before the end of the summer and work is under way to develop weekly waiting time information for diagnostic tests.
Mr. Peter Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many personal protection weapons on licence have been returned on request in Northern Ireland in each of the last five years. [77371]
Paul Goggins: The Chief Constable informs me that statistics are not readily available to enable him to provide this information, and that such data could be obtained only at disproportionate costs to public funds.
Mark Durkan: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what assessment he has made of the likely impact of the Workplace 2010 strategy on civil servants in (a) Waterside House, (b) Carlisle House and (c) Orchard House in Derry to ensure that existing civil service jobs remain in Derry; and whether there are further plans to move jobs out of Derry. [90792]
Mr. Hanson: The proposed Workplace 2010 contract includes the refurbishment of Waterside House, Carlisle House and Orchard House. The refurbishment programme will improve the working environment for staff, provide much more flexibility and increase the capacity of the three buildings. Current planning assumptions are that the existing staff will remain in Derry. Under Workplace 2010 there are no plans to relocate these staff out of Derry.
Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many places in approved hostels in England and Wales are occupied by persons convicted of sexual offences (a) on licence and (b) as a condition of a community penalty. [87794]
Mr. Sutcliffe: Statistical information about the type of offences committed by offenders residing in approved premises is not collected centrally
Jenny Willott: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many asylum seekers deported from the UK in (a) 2000, (b) 2001, (c) 2002, (d) 2003, (e) 2004 and (f) 2005, were (i) of school age and (ii) enrolled in a school or college; and if he will make a statement.[30063]
Mr. Byrne: Information on asylum seekers enrolled in a school or college is not available. The following table shows the number of asylum seekers removed for the period 2004 and 2005, and includes those who were under the age of eighteen at the date of their removal. Data are unavailable for the years 2000 to 2003 due to data quality issues.
