The NPSA has published two nutrition themed reports, Protected Mealtime Review: Findings and Recommendations Report and ‘National Screening: Structured Investigation Project’ neither of which are based on the aforementioned NRLS data. Copies of both reports have been placed in the Library.
NHS: Transport
Mr. Meale:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will ask the Healthcare Commission to include in its annual health check the monitoring of performance of private patient transport services contracted for the use of NHS patients. [206457]
Mr. Bradshaw:
The Healthcare Commission’s annual health check is an independent assessment of national health service organisations performance. The Healthcare Commission has recently consulted on the content of their annual health check and is due to publish the 2008-09 assessment process soon. It is not for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State to determine the content of the assessment, other than to ensure it covers the national priorities that have been set out by Government.
Northwick Park Hospital: Maternal Mortality
Mr. Todd:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what assessment he has made of the recommendations of the Healthcare Commission's report into maternal deaths at Northwick Park hospital; and what recommendations have been made to trusts on (a) optimum models of management and organisation of maternity services and (b) the use of agency personnel; [205543]
(2) whether he has assessed the effect on the performance of NHS trusts of the Healthcare Commission's recommendations on the monitoring of quality and performance of maternity services by NHS trusts following its investigation into maternal deaths at Northwick Park hospital. [205884]
3 Jun 2008 : Column 911W
Ann Keen:
The Healthcare Commission (HCC) report into the maternal deaths at Northwick Park hospital was published on the 23 August 2006. We welcomed the report and gave it careful consideration.
Our framework document, ‘Maternity Matters: Choice, access and continuity of care in a safe service’, published in April 2007, took account of the HCC report along with other evidence. It is the delivery mechanism for the Government’s maternity commitments and is the strategy for modernised maternity services, placing safety, quality and improving standards at the very heart of its vision. Copies of the framework document have been placed in the Library and can also be found on the Department's website at:
The use of agency personnel is a matter best determined by local trusts in light of local circumstances.
The HCC undertook a review of maternity services during 2007 covering all trusts providing maternity services, and published its findings in January 2008. The review assessed performance against a range if issues and indicators, covering clinical focus, women-centred care and efficiency and capability. The data enable trusts and commissioners to compare and benchmark their outcomes and performance against others. A national report containing detailed analysis of the review is expected to be published by the Healthcare Commission this summer.
Nurses: Schools
Norman Lamb:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many school nurses are employed in each primary care trust region; and how much they cost in the last year for which figures are available. [207641]
Ann Keen:
The following table shows the number of fully-qualified school nurses in England broken down by strategic health authority (SHA) and primary care trust (PCT).
The cost of employing school nurses is not identified separately. The employment costs of school nurses are included within the employment costs for all qualified nurses.
