David Heyes: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much budget allocation was provided for (a) NHS Greater Manchester, (b) Tameside and Glossop primary care trust and (c) Oldham primary care trust in each of the last three years, broken down by main categories of activity; and how much was spent against each budget in each case. [140650]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Primary care trusts (PCTs) are responsible for meeting the health needs of their population using the resources available to them. The following table shows the revenue resource limit for PCTs in Greater Manchester from the published accounts and the draft figures for 2006-07.

NHS: Labour Turnover

Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate her Department has made of the number of NHS staff who left the NHS (a) to work in the private health sector and (b) to work outside the UK in each of the last three years, broken down by category of job. [139016]

Ms Rosie Winterton: This information is not collected centrally.

NHS: Overseas Workers

Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what provision there is for those UK citizens who are not ordinarily resident in the UK through undertaking long term charitable or aid work abroad to access NHS care in the UK. [141978]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Anyone who is not ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom is subject to the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 1989, as amended and will be liable for charges for any hospital treatment they receive unless they are exempt from charge under a number of exemption categories listed in these regulations.

One exemption category relates to people engaged in employment outside the UK for no more than five years. Another relates to anyone who is working overseas as a missionary for an organisation with its principal place of business in the UK, for any length of time and regardless of whether they derive a salary or wage from the organisation, or receive any type of funding or assistance from the organisation. We have no plans to extend that to other unpaid charitable or aid workers. Such people will be able to access national health service hospital treatment, but they will be liable for charges for it unless considered exempt under another category.

NHS: Sick Leave

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average sickness absence rate was for NHS staff in 2006. [131954]

Ms Rosie Winterton: Average sickness absence for national health service organisations (excluding foundation trusts) from April to December 2006 is estimated at 10 working days, reported through the financial information management system. This figure equates to 4.0 per cent.

NHS: Training

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the ratio of speciality training to fixed term speciality training appointments is by speciality in England. [133708]
