Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 12 June 2007, Official Report, column 1004W, on NHS: ICT, when the (a) engineering-based timetables, (b) plan of key milestones and (c) evidence-based development plans will be (i) completed and (ii) made publicly available. [145638]
Caroline Flint: Work has been ongoing since the inception of the national programme, in line with normal programme management arrangements, to regularly review and update the engineering-based development and release plans with suppliers. Since plans can be subject to change for a variety of purposes, including new requirements, changed priorities and the business needs of the national health service, this process will continue throughout the life of the contracts.
Detailed implementation planning became the responsibility of individual trusts and the chief executives of strategic health authorities from April 2007. There are no plans to make these details routinely available.
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether her Department set up (a) a Task Force, (b) a Steering Group and (c) any other regular series of meetings on the Connecting for Health programme. [144576]
