Departments: Ministerial Policy Advisers

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the name is of each special adviser in his Department. [153086]

Dawn Primarolo: The annual list of special adviser names will be published shortly.

Departments: Public Expenditure

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 3 September 2007, Official Report, column 1873W on departments: public expenditure, if he will list those items of specific guidance which relate to spending reviews. [159839]

Mr. Bradshaw: The Treasury provides numerous pieces of written and oral guidance in the course of each spending review. It would not be practical to trace and list each individual piece of guidance.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) pursuant to the draft of his Department’s Policy Costing Handbook dated 7 March, if he will list his Department’s improvement objectives as referred to on page 6; [159971]

(2) pursuant to the presentation entitled Policy Costing Overview given at the Financial Management and Reporting Steering Group meeting on 23 March 2007, for what reason his Department’s relationship with HM Treasury needed to be restored. [159973]

Mr. Bradshaw: The following six areas were identified for the 2006-07 planning round from work commissioned on business improvement and the staff listening events in 2005.

This reference to restoring the relationship was made in connection with the need to ensure that HM Treasury could place reliance on the existence of an independent financial challenge function in the Department.

Diabetes

Mr. Skinner: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) adults and (b) children have been (i) diagnosed with and (ii) treated for diabetes in the last five years. [161059]

Ann Keen: The total number of patients aged 17 and over on practice registers in England who have an appropriate diabetes diagnosis is shown as follows for 2004-05 to 2006-07. These figures are cumulative, rather than representing new diagnoses.

In the United Kingdom, the number of children under the age of 15 with type 1 diabetes is estimated to be 20,000.

Once an individual has been diagnosed with diabetes they will be able to access support and treatment to manage their condition. The Diabetes National Service Framework, published in 2001, sets out the 12 standards of diabetes care that every primary care trust should aim to meet.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many persons with diabetes were hospitalised as a result of (a) eating and (b) drinking products labelled sugar free that included sucrose and other high levels of sugar in the last 12 months; what recent discussions he has had with food manufacturers on this issue; and if he will make a statement. [161096]

Dawn Primarolo: Information on the number of people with diabetes hospitalised as a result of consuming products labelled sugar free is not collected centrally.

As of 1 July 2007 new European Union Regulation 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods means that the claim ‘sugar free’ can only be made on products which contain no more than 0.5 g of sugars per l00 g or 100 ml. The Food Standards Agency has not had any recent discussions with food manufacturers about this issue.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) males and (b) females were diagnosed with diabetes in (i) Southend, (ii) each borough in Essex, (iii) each borough in Kent, (iv) the Metropolitan Police area of London and (v) England in each of the last five years for which figures are available, broken down by age group. [161098]

Ann Keen: The following table shows the number of patients of 17 years and over diagnosed with diabetes, as identified by General Practitioner (GP) practices in Essex, Kent and London strategic health authorities, and in England, in the last three years. These figures are cumulative, rather than representing new diagnoses. Figures broken down by age group and gender are not available.

Detailed figures for Essex, Kent and London by primary care trust:
