28 Feb 2007 : Column 1429W

National Patient Safety Agency

Norman Lamb: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the cost of the National Patient Safety Agency was in each financial year since it was established. [121432]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: “Building a safer NHS for patients” committed the Department to developing and investing in structures and organisations which would promote patient safety in the national health service. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) was an important part of the Department’s efforts. It has received the following amounts in Government funding:

£

2001-02

1,763,000

2002-03

12,120,000

2003-04

17,552,000

2004-05

17,108,000

2005-06

35,154,000

2006-07

32,770,000


The change in funding in 2005-06 is a result of the arms length body review, when the NPSA took on additional responsibilities. These were the National Clinical Assessment Service, the Central Office for Research Ethics Committees, the three national confidential inquiries and aspects of nutrition, cleaning and design.

NHS: Finance

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of NHS acute trusts achieved monthly run rate balance in the last period for which figures are available. [121791]

Andy Burnham: As at the end of quarter three 2006-07, 58 out of 111, which is 52 per cent. of national health service acute trusts, are in monthly run rate balance or better.

NHS: Negligence

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 29 January 2007, Official Report, column 59W, to the hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Mr. Hayes), on clinical negligence, if she will list the 100 largest claims awarded against her Department under the Clinical Negligence scheme for Trusts; and what the cause of complaint was in each case. [121194]

Andy Burnham: The information requested is shown in the table.
