Mr Graham Stuart:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent by the NHS on translation services in (a) 2008-09 and (b) 2009-10; when his Department last reviewed its level of expenditure on such services; and if he will make a statement. [4841]
Mr Burstow:
National health service bodies are not required to report their planned or actual spending on interpretation and translation services to the Department. When planning such services, NHS bodies should take due account of their legal duties, the composition of the communities they serve, and the needs and circumstances of their patients, service users and local populations.
Respite Care
Helen Jones:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what funding his Department allocated to each primary care trust for carer's breaks in each of the last four years; what records his Department maintains of the ways in which primary care trusts deploy such funding; and if he will make a statement. [3471]
Mr Burstow:
The previous Government made £150 million available within primary care trust (PCT) allocations (£50 million in 2009-10 and £100 million in 2010-11) to enable them to provide breaks for carers. Although this 30 Jun 2010 : Column 572W
was new money, it was not ring-fenced and no mechanisms were put in place to ensure that the money was spent on carers. The £150 million formed part of PCTs' overall total allocations and PCTs were not provided individual sums for breaks.
The NHS Operating Framework for 2010-11 distinguishes the national 'must dos' from those areas where local organisations should set their priorities based on local needs. Supporting carers has been an area identified for PCTs to choose to prioritise for local action and agree funding with local partner organisations. As such, the Department maintains no central records of how much each PCT spends on supporting carers.
Education
Departmental Mobile Phones
Mr Watson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education which Ministers in his Department have been issued with (a) a BlackBerry, (b) an iPhone, (c) another make of mobile telephone and (d) a personal digital assistant supplied by the Department. [1433]
Tim Loughton:
All five Ministers at this Department have been issued with one BlackBerry each. No iPhones, mobile phones or personal digital assistants have been issued to Ministers.
Departmental Official Cars
Mr Watson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many (a) civil servants and (b) special advisers in his Department are entitled to the use of (i) a car with a dedicated driver, (ii) a car from the Government car pool and (iii) a taxi ordered through a departmental account. [3207]
Tim Loughton:
There are no civil servants or special advisers entitled to the use of (a) a car with a dedicated driver or (b) a car from the Government car pool.
Civil servants and special advisers are discouraged from using a taxi unless there are special circumstances. These are:
When there is no public transport available, especially when travelling early in the morning or late at night before public transport starts or is running regularly.
When he/she has a temporary or permanent disability.
When he/she has heavy luggage to carry.
When it is more important that he/she saves official time.
When he/she is in an unfamiliar town and is uncertain of public transport.
When he/she is concerned for his/her physical safety.
Special Educational Needs
Stella Creasy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many and what proportion of students at (a) academy and (b) non-academy schools in each education authority had a statement of special educational needs in the academic year 2009-10. [4788]
