Mark Hunter:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment his Department has made of the use of robotic radiosurgery systems in the national health service. [313049]
27 Jan 2010 : Column 959W
Ann Keen:
Robotic radiosurgery is not currently available as a standard treatment within the national health service and so no such assessment has been made. The National Radiotherapy Implementation Group has set up a working group to look into the uses and different methods of delivery of stereotactic body radiotherapy.
Swine Flu: Vaccination
Mr. Drew:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people in each primary care trust (a) are eligible for and (b) have been administered swine influenza vaccine to date. [312749]
Gillian Merron:
At this stage, data on the number of people eligible to receive swine influenza vaccine by primary care trust (PCT) need to be validated by PCTs and the Health Protection Agency. This is ongoing and will be completed once the survey is completed. Therefore, we are not in a position to report the number eligible at present.
Provisional data (the latest that are available) by PCT for the number of patients that have received swine influenza vaccine from general practitioners and for the number of frontline healthcare workers vaccinated are given in the following table. These provisional figures are for the number people that have received at least one dose of vaccine. Most people need only one dose of swine influenza vaccine but some require two doses given at least three weeks apart (data on the number of people that have completed their vaccination course are not yet available).
PCT
Provisional figures for the number of people administered swine flu vaccine by general practitioners (up to 31 December 2009)
Provisional figures for the number of healthcare workers that have received swine influenza vaccine (up to 17 January 2010)
