General Practitioners
Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of people in (a) each primary care trust area and (b) England who responded to his Department's general practice patient survey reported that contacting their GP out-of-hours service was (i) very easy, (ii) fairly easy, (iii) not very easy, (iv) not at all easy and (v) don't know in (A) 2008-09 and (B) 2009-10. [315894]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: The information requested has been placed in the Library.
The data comes with a heavy warning that the data from the two years are not directly comparable. This is because the survey in 2008-09 was a one-off survey covering the whole year whereas the 2009-10 survey is being conducted quarterly. So far we have data from just two quarters in 2009-10 and consequently the sample size is much smaller.

[315895]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: This information requested has been placed in the Library.
The data provided comes with a clear warning that data from the two years are not directly comparable. This is because the survey in 2008-09 was a one-off survey covering the whole year whereas the 2009-10 survey is being conducted quarterly. So far we have data from just two quarters in 2009-10 and consequently the sample size is much smaller.
Health Protection Agency: Location
Robert Key: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with (a) staff and (b) trade unions on the proposed relocation of the Health Protection Agency from the Porton Down site near Salisbury to Harlow, Essex. [316047]
Gillian Merron: None. It is for the Health Protection Agency to hold such discussions with its staff and their representatives, and it will do so as appropriate.
Health Services
Bob Russell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people received medical attention in hospital as a result of attacks by dogs in each primary care trust in (a) the East of England and (b) London in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [316413]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: Data relating to the number of finished admission episodes for patients bitten or struck by a dog, by primary care trust (PCT) in the East of England and London strategic health authority (SHA) of residence for the years 2004-05 to 2008-09 has been set out in the following table.
| 2006-07 to 2008-09 | |||
| SHA/PCT description | 2008-09 | 2007-08 | 2006-07 |
Following reorganisation in 2006, SHAs were reduced from 28 to 10 and PCTs from 303 to 152. As a result data from 2006-07 onwards is not directly comparable with previous years. Data has been presented for those SHA/PCTs which have valid data for the breakdown presented here. As a result some SHA/PCTs may be missing from the list provided.
