103W Written Answers 26 OCTOBER 2009 Written Answers 104W Elderly: Leeds Health Services: Travelling People John Battle: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent estimate he has made of the number of people aged 75 years and over who have a disability or limiting long-term illness in (a) Leeds West constituency and (b) the City of Leeds. [295355] Phil Hope: Data on the number of people aged 75 years and over who have a disability or limiting long-term illness is not collected centrally. Data on the number of people receiving social services funded either fully or partially by councils with adult social services responsibilities (CASSRs) in England is collected and published by the Information Centre for health and social care as part of the Referrals, Assessments and Packages of Care (RAP) return. Provisional data for 2008-09 was published in September 2009. During the period 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009, the number of adults aged 65 and over with physical disabilities, frailty or a sensory impairment receiving a social care service funded either partly or wholly by their CASSR following a community care assessment by Leeds city council was 10,060. Data are not centrally available at constituency level. Source: The Information Centre for health and social care. Health Service Commissioner: Public Service Mr. Gale: To ask the Secretary of State for Health for what reasons the Health Service Ombudsman is unable to investigate matters relating to public service personnel. [295463] Ann Keen: Personnel matters are a specific exemption under the Ombudsman’s legislation: section 7(1) of the Health Service Commissioners Act 1993, and paragraph 10(1) of schedule 3 of the <strong>Parliament</strong>ary Commissioners Act 1967. Health Services: Finance Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what funding (a) the Department for Communities and Local Government and (b) local authorities will be expected to provide towards the proposed new regime of free care for the elderly. [292741] Phil Hope: The commitment to offer free personal care at home to those with the highest needs is expected to cost up to £670 million per full year. The Government, through the Department of Health, will provide the bulk of this funding (an estimated £420 million per full year) for this historic first step towards a national care service. However, it is right that councils play their part alongside central Government. The remainder of the funding will come from efficiencies in local government which has already delivered £1.764 billion in 2008-09, is due to have delivered at least £3.2 billion by the end of 2009-10, with a target to deliver £5.5 billion over the comprehensive spending review period. Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 16 September 2009, Official Report, column 2238W, on health services: Travelling people, what benefits he expects Travellers to receive as a consequence of the Friends, Families and Travellers scheme. [294910] Phil Hope: The Department’s funding for the Friends, Families and Travellers scheme is expected to support better access to healthcare for Travellers by establishing three centres of regional excellence in the South East, East of England and South West. Working in partnership with Gypsy and Traveller communities, the national health service and other stakeholders, the centres will help develop and deliver better services for Gypsies and Travellers and enable their good practice to be spread to other regions. Health Visitors: Training Anne Milton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the mechanisms are for funding of training health visitors; and how much such funding is being provided by (a) the Government and (b) private sources in 2009-10. [295460] Ann Keen: Health visitor training is funded from the £4.6 billion multi-professional education and training budget (MPET) allocated to strategic health authorities (SHAs) and is commissioned by SHAs. Within the overall MPET resources allocated, it is a matter for each SHA to determine their own priorities including how much is spent on post-registration training commissions for health visitors. Under the current service level agreement with SHAs, each SHA is expected to provide for investment in training commissions based on long term workforce need and local financial plans. Information on how much funding is being provided for health visitor training from private sources in 2009-10 is not held centrally. Incontinence: Children Annette Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans his Department has made for children’s continence services in the next five years. [295468] Ann Keen: The Department has not made specific new plans for children’s continence services. The National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services (the NSF) included guidance on the importance of joined up continence services for children and young people. In October 2007 the Department published a Continence Exemplar. This was one in a series of exemplar journeys (patient pathways), illustrating key themes in the NSF and is available on the Department’s website at: www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/ PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_079004 A copy has already been placed in the Library.
