Midwives
Miss McIntosh:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many midwives were (a) trained and (b) recruited in each of the last three years; and what recent estimate she has made of the average distance travelled by an expectant mother to access (i) a midwife-led maternity unit and (ii) a consultant-led maternity hospital. [134414]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
The table shows the number of students who entered training to be a midwife in the last three years.
The Department does not collect centrally information on how many of these were recruited into the national health service.
The average distance of a woman from a midwife led maternity unit is 10 (9.93) miles and the average distance of a woman from a consultant led hospital is five (4.75) miles.

Modernising Medical Services: Resignations
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what date the head of Modernising Medical Services resigned; and if she will place a copy of his resignation letter and her response in the Library. [134108]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
Professor Alan Crockard tendered his resignation as National Director for Modernising Medical Careers on 29 March 2007.
It is not intended to place a copy of the letter in the Library.
Multiple Sclerosis: Medical Treatments
Mr. Hepburn:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many multiple sclerosis specialist nurses worked in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) England in each year since 1997. [135313]
15 May 2007 : Column 728W
Ms Rosie Winterton:
This information is not collected centrally. Multiple sclerosis specialist nurses are not separately identifiable in the work force census from the rest of the nursing work force.
NHS Resource Accounting and Budgeting Regime
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to her statement of 28 March 2007, Official Report, columns 96-98WS, on the NHS resource accounting and budgeting regime, for what reason the £450 million contingency reserve is being allocated to strategic health authorities (SHAs) in line with the resource allocation formula; how each SHAs share is calculated in relation to the resource allocation formula; and what each SHAs contribution to the £450 million contingency reserve has been. [131847]
Andy Burnham:
The Department was clear that strategic health authorities (SHAs) should take a pragmatic and sensible approach to managing the finances in 2006-07, including the identification of a contingency.
The contingency is not new money provided by the Department. The package of NHS central programme budget funding was identified for SHAs as a single amount from which SHAs in agreement with local stakeholders developed plans on how best to deploy this funding. This allowed SHAs to set aside £450 million as a contingency.
The £450 million contingency was distributed to SHAs pro-rata to revenue allocation targets. The SHA level targets were calculated by aggregating the 2006-07 closing revenue allocation targets for each SHAs constituent primary care trusts. This is in line with other revenue allocations that are made using the fair funding formula that directs funding to towards those areas with the greatest need. This approach was agreed with SHAs.
NHS: Consultants
Helen Jones:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was paid to consultants in fees and expenses by (a) her Department and (b) the NHS in each year since 1997. [136983]
Andy Burnham:
The Department does not collect information in such a way to identify the fees and expenses paid to consultants. Information on the fees and expenses of consultants in the national health service trusts is not collected centrally.
NHS: Contracts
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what she expects the estimated change in costs to the NHS to be of implementing the new General Medical Services contract in each of the years to 2011-12. [135772]
Andy Burnham:
The change in spend on primary medical care services, since the introduction of the new general medical services (GMS) contract in 2003-04, is shown in the following table.

NHS: Equal Pay
Alistair Burt:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what financial provision she has made to fulfil the terms of the Equal Pay Act 1970 in the individual budgets of (a) primary care trusts and (b) NHS trusts in the Eastern Region (i) in 2006-07 and (ii) in subsequent years. [127635]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
There are around 120 equal pay claims outstanding against national health service organisations in the NHS East of England area. It is not possible to estimate what, if any, additional cost will arise from these claims as there are a number of significant legal issues which need to be resolved before liability can be assessed.
NHS: Finance
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 26 March 2007, Official Report, column 1369W, on NHS: finance, what discussions gave rise to the confirmation with officials from the Welsh Assembly Government referred to in
15 May 2007 : Column 730W
the answer of 18 December 2006, Official Report, column 1720W, on NHS expenditure; and when these discussions took place. [131971]
Andy Burnham:
National health services expenditure data and population estimates for Wales were provided directly by the National Assembly for Wales.
This work was commissioned by Department in July 2006. Discussions were limited to agreeing time scales, and as noted in the previous answer (answer of 18 December 2006, Official Report, column 1720W), improving consistency by excluding expenditure on departmental administration.
However, detailed methodological discussions did not take place as Department has no authority over the work of Devolved Assemblies.
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what NHS expenditure in England was as a percentage of gross domestic product in each year since 1992; and what estimates she has made of NHS expenditure in England as a percentage of gross domestic product in each of the next 10 years. [134113]
Andy Burnham:
The Department does not report on national health service expenditure in England as a percentage of gross domestic product.
Mr. Nicholas Brown:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the gross deficit was of each NHS individual accounting unit in the latest year for which figures are available, broken down by decile. [135902]
Andy Burnham:
The information is as follows:
