Notes:
1. Figures for revenue and capital are grant-in-aid issued by the Department of Health and are the start of year figures. Figures for income are derived from the organisations’ annual accounts.
2. “Other income” represents income largely from regulatory fees.
3. Figures for CSCI up to 2006-07 include the cost of children’s social services functions transferred to Ofsted on 1 April 2007.

Hospitals: Waiting Lists

Norman Lamb: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many operations were cancelled for each acute hospital trust in (a) each of the last 12 months and (b) each of the previous four years, broken down by specialty. [167807]

Mr. Bradshaw: Tables showing the number of operations cancelled for non-clinical reasons have been placed in the Library. This information is collected on a quarterly basis and is not broken down by specialty.

Illegal Immigrants

Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many illegal immigrants have been discovered working for his Department and its agencies in the last year for which figures are available. [170504]

Mr. Bradshaw: For the year 1 December 2006 to 30 November 2007 no illegal immigrants have been discovered working for the Department of Health or its agencies. Stringent identity and nationality checks are carried out as part of the recruitment procedures applied by the Department and its agencies, prior to appointment.

Negligence

Mr. Baron: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many clinical negligence cases were closed by the NHS Litigation Authority in the last year for which figures are available; how many of those cases were funded by (a) legal aid, (b) conditional fee agreements and (c) other means; and how many cases in each category of funding resulted in an award of damages or a settlement involving an agreement to pay damages. [167022]

Ann Keen: The information requested is in the following table. The information was supplied by the NHS Litigation Authority.

NHS: Consultants

Frank Cook: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many finished consultant episodes were completed in each of the last five years. [168351]

Mr. Bradshaw: The following table shows the number of finished consultant episodes (FCEs) completed in national health services hospitals in England from 2001-02 to 2005-06 inclusive.

Notes:
FCE
An FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Figures do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year.
Ungrossed Data
Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed).
Assessing growth through time
HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. During the years that these records have been collected there have been ongoing improvements in quality and coverage. These improvements in information submitted by the NHS have been particularly marked in the earlier years and need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. Changes in NHS practice also need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. For example, a number of procedures may now be undertaken in out-patient settings and may no longer be accounted in the HES data. This may account for any reductions in activity over time.
Data Quality
HES are compiled from data sent by over 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts in England. The Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data via HES processes. Whilst this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain.

NHS: Loans

Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 26 November 2007, Official Report, column 255W, on NHS: loans, how much of the £777.881 million of loans issued to national health service trusts on 22 March was used to finance private finance initiative projects, broken down by individual trusts to which a loan payment was made. [171944]

Mr. Bradshaw: In 2006-07 the informal and opaque system of cash brokerage and planned support that had previously operated across the national health service, was replaced for NHS trusts by a formal system of loans. The £777.881 million of loans issued to NHS trusts on 22 March 2007 was provided to finance the consequences of historic overspending that had previously been financed informally through the cash brokerage system.

Primary Care Trusts: Hampshire

Sandra Gidley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what redundancy payments were made during the last reorganisation of primary care trusts in Hampshire; and if he will make a statement. [163375]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The information is not held in the format requested as individual redundancy payments are not available centrally.

The following table shows the total expenditure by primary care trusts (PCTs) in Hampshire for 2006-07, which is the latest and only year for which this information is available.

There are two measures of expenditure. The first measure is for ‘redundancy’. These costs will, in
6 Dec 2007 : Column 1440W
previous years, have been included within an ‘other/miscellaneous’ category. They are for redundancy, but it is not known whether all costs included will relate to redundancy following mergers or re-organisation.

The second (stand-alone) measure is ‘PCT reorganisation; redundancies and early retirement’. It is expected that these are costs relating to organisations involved in mid year mergers/reorganisation.
