Mr. Dunne: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of physiotherapy graduates in (a) Shropshire and (b) the West Midlands gained employment in the NHS in each year since 2001. [114856]
Ms Rosie Winterton: This information is not collected centrally.
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Health which statistics are used to determine whether her Departments public service agreement (PSA) targets have been met, broken down by PSA target; and which of these are classified as national statistics. [115344]
Andy Burnham [holding answer 15 January 2007]: The Departments public service agreement (PSA) incorporates technical notes which contain information about the statistics used to monitor progress towards meeting the Departments PSA targets. The technical notes are available on the Departments website at:
www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidanceArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4133321&chk=xbJnjl
A report by the independent Statistics Commission entitled PSA Targets: the Devil in the Detail, which was published on 20 March 2006, contains an independent analysis of each Departments PSA targets, including notes on National Statistics classification.

Greg Clark: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the level of central Government grant to local government was for social services in Tunbridge Wells local authority area in the most recent year for which figures are available. [110572]
Mr. Ivan Lewis:
The provision of social services in the Tunbridge Wells area is the responsibility of Kent county council. Funding for local authorities' social service responsibilities are paid through formula grant (revenue support grant and national non-domestic rates) and specific grant. Formula grant is unhypothecated provision and decisions on the use of that grant are for local authorities to make, bearing in mind their statutory responsibilities and the wishes of their electorate. Under the provisional local government finance settlement 2007-08, Kent county
council receives a formula grant of £228.685 million, which is an increase of 2.7 per cent. on a like for like basis. In addition, Kent will receive the following revenue grants for adult social care amounting to £42.591 million:

Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Health which statistics released by her Department and its agencies are classified as (a) national statistics and (b) official statistics; and if she will make a statement. [115469]
Andy Burnham: A list of the titles of all of the National Statistics produced by relevant Departments and agencies was placed in the Library on 8 January 2007 to accompany the second reading of the Statistics and Registration Bill. An equivalent list, which includes other statistical products not designated as National Statistics, was also placed on the National Statistics website at:
www.statistics.gov.uk/about/ns_ons/nsproducts/default.asp
These lists include all regular statistics released by the Department and by the information centre for health and social care, and they include National Statistics produced by the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse and by the commission for social care inspection.
In addition to the regular statistics shown in the list on the National Statistics website, the Department and its associated agencies publish a wide range of other statistical information in a variety of forms including other data produced from the management and administration of the Department and in research reports. There is no centrally held information on the total published.
We will keep under review the case for including more individual health and social care statistics in National Statistics scope.
