23 Apr 2008 : Column 2138W—continued
NHS: Reorganisation
Mike Penning:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the evidential basis is for Lord Darzi's assessment in his interim report that the NHS is perhaps two-thirds of the way through its reform programme set out in 2000 and 2002. [199431]
Ann Keen:
As stated on pages 14-15 of the NHS chief executive's annual report, published on 21 June 2007, there are three stages in the journey to reform the national health service. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library and is also available at:
The aim of the NHS Next Stage Review, “Our NHS, our future”, is to identify the way forward for a 21st century NHS which is clinically-driven, patient-centred and responsive to local communities.
Nurses: Schools
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 4 March 2008, Official Report, column 2392W, on nurses: schools, (1) if he will break down the number of full-time equivalent fully-qualified school nurses by (a) region, (b) primary care trust and (c) local authority; [194727]
23 Apr 2008 : Column 2139W
(2) what estimate he has made of the percentage of schools in England that are visited by a fully qualified school nurse; [194728]
(3) on nurses: schools, how many children were seen by a fully qualified school nurse in each year since 2004. [194729]
Ann Keen:
No estimate has been made centrally of the percentage of schools in England that are visited by a fully-qualified school nurse or of the number of children who were seen by a fully-qualified school nurse in each year since 2004. It is for primary care trusts (PCTs) in partnership with local authorities (LAs), strategic health authorities (SHAs) and other local stakeholders to determine how best to use their funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health, and to commission services accordingly. This process provides the means for addressing local needs within the health community including the provision of school nursing services.
The following table shows the number of full-time equivalent fully-qualified school nurses in England broken down by SHA and PCT.
The information showing the breakdown by LA is not collected centrally.
