[170034]
Mr. Bradshaw: The Information Centre for health and social cares catalogue can be accessed at the Information Centre's website at www.ic.nhs.uk. The Catalogue lists over 600 data collections and identifies where data are published.

Mike Penning: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the likely cost of asbestos disposal in NHS properties in each of the next three years; and if he will make a statement. [170623]
Mr. Bradshaw: This information is not collected centrally. Responsibility for the disposal of asbestos found in any national health service property is a matter for local management.

Mr. Bradshaw: Strategic service development plans (SSDPs) are required as part of the overall partnership agreements underpinning primary care trusts (PCTs) and other trusts who are parties to local improvement finance trust (LIFT) agreements. Part of that partnership agreement is a contractual obligation on the parties to update the SSDP on an annual basis. There is no requirement for SSDPs to be completed in non-LIFT areas.
No central record is kept of the status of individual SSDPs. The following information lists PCTs with LIFT agreements.
