21 Feb 2008 : Column 942W—continued


The following should be noted:

(a) The aforementioned table shows by specific region the number, weight and volume of seizures of meat made from non-EU countries by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at British points of entry (and by staff funded by DEFRA until 11 April 2003), those made by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland (DARDNI) at points of entry in Northern Ireland and those made by inland local/port health authorities where they were able to establish that the illegal products came from non-EU countries. HMRC have been responsible for anti-smuggling controls on products of animal origin (POAO) into Britain since 11 April 2003.

On occasions more than one POAO product at a time will be seized (for example, meat, fish, dairy and honey). This is referred to as a ‘multiple seizure’. Up until 31 March 2006, this was only recorded as one seizure against the product of highest weight although the weight of the other products seized was included in the weight recorded for that product. However, the number of seizures by product for the period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 reflect the number of times each product was seized including those from a ‘multiple seizure’.

(b) Seizures of illegal meat imported into the United Kingdom (UK) are recorded by region rather than specific country. This is because in some cases it can be difficult to determine the precise country of origin for a particular product and people can often travel to the UK via another country (for example to catch a direct connecting flight to the UK). What is clear is that illegal imports of meat (and other products of animal origin) enter the UK from all over the world.

(c) Seizure figures are not recorded at the level of detail to determine the type of product (for example, chicken, pork etc.).

Health

Agency Nurses: Pay

Mr. Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the highest hourly rate paid to agency nurses by the NHS was in each of the last three years. [185456]


21 Feb 2008 : Column 943W

Ann Keen: This information is not held centrally as it is an operational matter for national health service trusts.

Alcoholic Drinks: Misuse

Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) male and (b) female binge drinkers, according to the definition of binge drinking used in the Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy, there were in each year since 2004. [186172]

Dawn Primarolo: The Office for National Statistics (ONS) general household survey provides an estimate of the percentage of men and women who drank more than twice the daily recommendations (three to four units per day for men, two to three units per day for women) on at least one day in the previous week, a measure of binge drinking.

On the method for estimating consumption formerly used by the ONS, in 2004, 22 per cent. of men and 9 per cent. of women drank more than twice the daily recommendations on at least one day in the previous week.

In 2005, 19 per cent. of men and 8 per cent. of women drank more than twice the daily recommendations. For 2006, this figure was 18 per cent. of men and 8 per cent. of women.

In December 2007, the ONS described improvements in the ONS method for estimating alcohol consumption. The improved method takes account of increases in the alcoholic strength of wine, the sizes of glass used and uses better estimates of the alcoholic strength of beers, lagers and ciders.

Using the improved methodology, in both 2005 and 2006, 23 per cent. of men and 15 per cent. of women drank more than twice the daily recommendations on at least one day in the previous week. The figures for 2004 have not been recalculated according to the new methodology.

Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many alcohol-related categories are in use for assessing accident and emergency admissions. [187479]

Dawn Primarolo: The individual diagnosis codes currently used by the Information Centre for health and social care to define ‘alcohol related conditions’ for hospital admissions are:

Of these, the categories used by the Information Centre for health and social care to define ‘admissions to hospital via accident and emergency’ (A and E) are:


21 Feb 2008 : Column 944W

Cancer

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 14 January 2008, Official Report, column 991W, on cancer, how many (a) elective and (b) emergency bed days for cancer (i) in total and (ii) for each cancer type there were in 2006-07; what assessment he has made of the reasons for the trends in (A) elective and (B) emergency bed days for cancer since 1997-98; and what his latest estimate is of the average cost of (1) an elective and (2) an emergency admission for cancer (x) overall and (y) for each cancer type in the latest year for which figures are available. [184216]

Ann Keen: Information on elective and emergency bed days in 2006-07, broken down by cancer type is not currently available.

The latest year for which cost estimates are available for cancer admissions is 2005-06.

The following table provides the average cost of an elective and an emergency admission for all cancers and for each cancer type in the latest year for which figures are available. Note that this includes day cases, which are within the definition of an admission, but exclude regular day and regular night attenders which are not defined as admissions. Figures are in 2005-06 prices.

Cervical Cancer: Screening

Sandra Gidley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of women aged 25 to 35 years of age have attended a routine smear test in the last 12 months, broken down by primary care trust area. [183760]

Ann Keen: Cervical screening attendance data is collected in five-year age bands, starting at 20-24, we are therefore not able to say what percentage of women aged 25 to 35 have attended a routine screen in the last 12 months. However, the following table gives the percentage of women aged 25-34 and 35-39, broken down by primary care trust.
