Subject to meeting the eligibility criteria diploma level nursing students receive a non-means tested NHS bursary and degree level nursing students receive a means tested NHS bursary supplemented by a non means tested Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills student loan (approximately 50 per cent. of the full loan available to non-health care degree level students). Additional allowances are also available, subject to individual circumstances, for students with disabilities, others with dependants and to cover some childcare costs.
University Access to Leaning Funds, administered via most higher education institutions may be available to nursing students who have taken up their full entitlement to a NHS bursary and (if applicable) a student loan and are in need of further financial support. The basic NHS bursary rates for new students in academic year 2008-09 is shown in the following table.

As part of the national health service (NHS) Next Stage Review the Department is undertaking a review of NHS student support to consider a wide range of options for student support, including addressing the anomaly under which nursing degree students receive different support from nursing diploma students. The review is being taken forward in partnership with key stakeholders including trades unions.
In addition to the basic NHS bursary, the NHS meets both diploma and degree level nursing students' liability for a national tuition fee contribution of £7,273 in 2008-09.
Patients Rights
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what procedures will apply to the imposition of financial penalties for hospitals which do not meet required standards of privacy and dignity for patients; [255302]
(2) with reference to his announcement of 28 January 2009 on mixed-sex accommodation in the NHS, what financial penalties hospitals may be liable for; and how he plans to define overriding clinical justification. [255368]
Ann Keen:
From 2010-11 hospitals that treat patients in mixed sex accommodation will face significant financial consequences—unless there is an overriding clinical justification.
Officials are currently examining options for financial levers in the standard contracts from April 2010, and are also determining appropriate measures and definitions for “overriding clinical justification”.
Physiotherapy: Manpower
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) physiotherapists and (b) speech therapists worked in the NHS in each year since 1997; and how many worked in each NHS organisation in each of the last three years. [255597]
Ann Keen:
The information is contained in tables which have been placed in the Library.
Primary Care Trusts
Mr. Lansley:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the (a) deprivation score, as recorded in the indices of deprivation, (b) forecast surplus in 2008-09 as a percentage of turnover, (c) revenue allocation in 2008-09 per unweighted head and (d) the number of GPs per 100,000 population is of each primary care trust. [255436]
Mr. Bradshaw:
The information in the following table shows:
the index of multiple deprivation (IMD) 2007 score;
forecast outturn surplus or deficit as a percentage of turnover at quarter two 2008-09;
the revenue allocation in 2008-09 per unweighted head; and
the number of general practitioners (GPs) (excluding retainers and registrars) at 30 September 2007 per 100,000 unweighted population for each primary care trust (PCT).

Notes:
1. The IMD 2007 is published by Communities and Local Government and combines a number of indicators, chosen to cover a range of economic, social and housing issues, into a single deprivation score for small areas in England.
2. The forecast surplus or deficit at quarter two 2008-09 is published by the Department at: www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsStatistics/DH_091230.
3. The population used as the denominator is the PCT responsible population for 2008 from the 2004-based Office for National Statistics population projections, adjusted for cross border patient flows using 2007 GP registrations.
4. The number of GPs is from the general practice census published each year by the Information Centre for Health and Social Care at:
