15 July 2009 : Column 531W

Mr. Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the net effect on the public purse of the termination of the reciprocal health agreement with the Isle of Man in the 12 months following termination; and if he will make a statement. [285960]

Gillian Merron: The Department has not yet given formal notice on the bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man but it has informed the Isle of Man of the intention to do so. Because of a perceived imbalance in the numbers of tourists being treated by both parties, under the bilateral agreement the UK has provided the Isle of Man with an annual allocation, to fund clinical referrals to the UK, of around £2.5 million in recent years. The UK will no longer provide this, once the agreement is terminated. Following the end of the agreement, UK residents will require travel insurance when visiting the Isle of Man, likewise Isle of Man residents visiting here.

Health Services: Waiting Lists

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients diagnosed with (a) cancer and (b) heart disease waited for treatment for over six months in Tamworth constituency in each of the last five years. [286339]

Ann Keen: The information is not available in the format requested.

Cancer patients from the Tamworth constituency area would receive treatment from the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust or Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. For quarter four 2008-09 for Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, of the 235 cancer patients treated, 233 or 99.1 per cent. of them began their first definitive treatment within 31 days of receiving their diagnosis and agreeing a care plan. For quarter four 2008-09 for Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, of the 180 cancer patients treated, 179 or 99.4 per cent. of them began their first definitive treatment within 31 days of receiving their diagnosis and agreeing a care plan.

Tamworth constituency is within the South Staffordshire primary care trust (PCT) area. Information on the number and percentage of admitted and non-admitted patients with heart disease for 2008-09 is shown in the following tables.

Notes:
1. RTT waiting times figures are collected separately for patients who are admitted to hospital for treatment and for those for whom a decision not to admit is made.
2. Data on non-admitted patients has only been collected since August 2007, so the only full year for which figures are available is 2008-09.

Health Visitors: Crimes of Violence

Anne Milton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many physical assaults on health visitors were recorded in each of the last five years. [287375]

Ann Keen: The information is not available centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Since 2004-05, the NHS Security Management Service has collected information on the number of physical assaults reported against national health service staff in England. Tables showing the number of assaults reported by each health body have already been placed in the Library.

Health: Research

Dr. Kumar: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much his Department spent in supporting scientific and medical research undertaken by charities in the last 12 months. [285195]

Gillian Merron: The Department's National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network (CRN) provides the health service infrastructure to support clinical trials and other studies funded by both commercial and non-commercial organisations. All eligible studies funded by research charities are automatically entitled to CRN support. The network is currently supporting 850 such studies. They comprise some 38 per cent. of the total CRN portfolio.

The cost of the CRN in 2008-09 was £158 million. It is not possible separately to identify what part of that expenditure was attributable to the support given to research charity funded studies.

Heart Diseases: Death

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the mortality rate for heart disease in Tamworth constituency was in each of the last five years. [286337]

Angela E. Smith: I have been asked to reply.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.

(1) Age-standardised mortality rates per 100,000 population, standardised to the European Standard Population. Age-standardised rates are used to allow comparison between populations which may contain different proportions of people of different ages.
(2) Confidence intervals are a measure of the statistical precision of an estimate and show the range of uncertainty around the estimated figure. Calculations based on small numbers of events are often subject to random fluctuations. As a general rule, if the confidence interval around one figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures.
(3) Cause of death for ischaemic heart disease was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes 120-125.
(4) Based on boundaries as of 2009.
(5) Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year.

Hospital Beds

Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many bed spaces on average there were at (a) Addenbrooke's, (b) West Suffolk and (c) Ipswich hospital in (i) 1997, (ii) 2002 and (iii) the latest period for which figures are available. [286185]

Phil Hope: The average daily number of available and occupied beds by sector, national health service organisations in England, 1997-98, 2002-03, 2007-08, is shown in the following table.
