Disability Aids
Mr. Andrew Smith:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects the review of community equipment for disabled people and wheelchair services to report. [149172]
Mr. Ivan Lewis:
With regards to the review of community equipment, I reviewed the outline business case and on 19 April 2007, I approved the next phase of the development of the new model.
During the next 10 months, the transforming community equipment and wheelchair services team will work with users and their carers, councils and their primary care trust partners, practitioners as well as other stakeholders to develop the outline community equipment model to operational status by April 2008.
With regards to wheelchair services, I have agreed a further data gathering exercise and asked the Care Services Efficiency Delivery programme to report to me in autumn 2007.
Disability Aids: Children
Mr. Andrew Smith:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the availability of communication aids to disabled children; and if he will make a statement. [149173]
Mr. Ivan Lewis:
We have not made any assessment of the availability of communication aids to disabled children.
The transforming community equipment services project is developing a market model for the provision of community equipment, including communication aids.
Responsibility for assessing people's individual communication aids needs rests with local health and social care agencies. They are in the best position to determine local service priorities, using the increasing resources that the Government have made available.
Doctors: Foreign Workers
Peter Bottomley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health who chose the 5 February 2007 date set for the Home Office stamp to be placed in the passports of Highly Skilled Migrant Programme doctors; why it was chosen; what other dates were considered; what process of consultation took place on the choice of date; whether responses were received from (a) the Home Department, (b) representatives of doctors in training and (c) directors of medical training; who has the power to (i) change the date and (ii) accept a Home Department letter in place of the Home Office stamp; what estimate he has made of the number of (A) junior doctors and (B) medical directors who were unaware of the details of the requirement; and what information was available to Ministers of the time it would take for (x) Highly Skilled Migrant Programme status to be granted and (y) the stamp to be placed in a passport.
