£ million

2004-05

400

2005-06

321

2006-07

193

Notes: 1. Trust Financial returns (TFR3B), primary care trust financial returns (PFR3B) and Strategic Health Authority financial returns (HFR25B) 2. Information on agency staff spend by Staff Group is not collected from foundation trusts (FTs). The number of FTs differs for each year. As at 31 March there were 25, 32 and 59 FTs in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively.

Antidepressants: Suicide

Anne Milton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many of those who committed suicide were taking prescribed anti-depressant medication at the time of death from 1997 to 2007. [186060]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: This information is not held centrally.


22 Feb 2008 : Column 1061W

Breast Cancer: Essex

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many breast cancer screenings there were in Essex in each of the last five years. [185315]

Ann Keen: There are three breast-screening units in Essex: Colchester and Chelmsford, Epping and South Essex (Southend). The most recent year for which data are available is 2005-06.


22 Feb 2008 : Column 1062W

The numbers of women aged 45 and over screened at each unit in each of the last five years for which data are available are set out in the following table. While the national breast screening programme targets women aged 50 to 70 there are some women in the age range 45 to 49 who are invited to be screened, the majority of whom are women aged 49 who have been called for their first routine screening a few months early.

Capita

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was paid by his Department to Capita Group plc and its subsidiaries in each financial year since 2000; which contracts were awarded by his Department to Capita Group plc in each year since 2000-01 to the most recent available date; what the cost was of each contract; what penalties for default were imposed in contract provisions; what the length was of each contract; whether the contract was advertised; how many companies applied for the contract; how many were short-listed; what criteria were used for choosing a company; what provision was made for renewal without re-tender in each case; and if he will make a statement. [180700]

Mr. Bradshaw: The Department does not currently hold individual contract details in the format requested. To do so would attract disproportionate cost. However, a new system will be introduced in April 2008 called SHOWA, which will be able to gather future information of this nature for the Department.

Details of the amount paid to Capita and its subsidiaries by the Department from 2004 are set out as follows:

£

2004-05

980,447

2005-06

1,997,939

2006-07

1,865,918

2007 to date

1,460,316


The expenditure relates to payments recorded in the Department's integrated financial information system and credited against Capita Group plc or its subsidiaries. The records used to provide this information only go back as far as the beginning of 2004. To try to retrieve earlier details would attract a disproportionate cost, as these data are archived and not easily accessible.

Care Homes

Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the consistency of methodology used in compiling continuing care statistics in England; and if he will make a statement. [187488]

Mr. Ivan Lewis [holding answer 21 February 2008]: Information on continuing healthcare is collected from primary care trusts as part of the local delivery plan return process. From this financial year the data are being collected quarterly, prior to this date the collection was annual. When this change to the frequency of the collection was made, the data definition for continuing care was also clarified. These changes were made to improve data quality and better monitor the implementation of the “National Framework for Continuing Healthcare and National Health Service-funded Nursing Care”.

Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the effects of the new care assessment tool for determining whether patients receive NHS continuing healthcare on the number receiving such care; and if he will make a statement. [187489]

Mr. Ivan Lewis [holding answer 21 February 2008]: The “National Framework for Continuing Healthcare and National Health Service funded Nursing Care” was implemented on 1 October 2007 and it is too soon to conclusively gauge its impact. We will review the Framework and the decision support tool in September 2008.

Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people received continuing care (a) in total and (b) per 50,000 of population in each primary care trust area in England in each quarter of 2007. [187490]


22 Feb 2008 : Column 1063W

Notes:
1. The data shown above are for the calendar year 2007.
2. 5AN North East Lincolnshire PCT changed to a care trust to form TAN North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus in 2007, data shown above for 5AN has been mapped to TAN for Q2 2007-08 and Q3 2007-08.
3. Buckinghamshire PCT did not supply continuing care data in Q1 2007-08.
4. Note that the figures for Q1-Q3 2007-08 were collected as quarterly figures. The figure used for Q4 2006-07 was collected as a year end snapshot, but therefore also gives the position at the end of Q4 2006-07.
