Out-patients: Eastbourne
Mr. Waterson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of Eastbourne Downs NHS Primary Care Trust outpatients have been discharged back to their GP for their follow-up appointment in the last 12 months. [130972]
Andy Burnham:
The information requested is not collected centrally.
Patients: Surveys
Dr. Richard Taylor:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total cost was of the recent GP patient survey sent by post to 5 million patients carried out by MORI. [131431]
Andy Burnham:
The 2006-07 general practitioner patient survey was launched in January 2007. The final date for the return of patient questionnaires was 5 April. The total cost will depend upon the survey results which will be made available when the questionnaires are returned and analysed. It is not therefore possible to give a final figure for the total cost until this is complete. The budgeted cost, however, for administration of the survey in 2006-07 is £11 million.

Pharmacy
Mr. McGovern:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) whether she has met (a) pharmacists and (b) pharmaceutical wholesalers to discuss the supply network for British pharmaceuticals since Pfizer began distributing their products through a single company; [131601]
(2) whether she has received any representations on the operation of Pfizer's new distribution model for pharmaceuticals; [131602]
(3) whether she has met (a) Pfizer and (b) UniChem to discuss the operation of their pharmaceutical distribution network; [131603]
(4) what assessment she has made of the extent to which the operation of Pfizer's new distribution model for pharmaceuticals meets the guarantees provided to her Department in October 2006. [131787]
Caroline Flint:
Ministers have had no meetings with representatives of Pfizer, UniChem, pharmacists or the pharmaceutical wholesale industry, since the launch of Pfizer's new distribution arrangements on 5 March, to discuss these new arrangements.
Since the launch of the new arrangements, the Department has received eight written representations, as of 2 April, not including the four questions asked by the hon. Member. Officials in the Department continue to monitor the operation of the new system.

Mr. Amess:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average age of primagravidas in England was in each of the last five years. [129520]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
