1271W Written Answers 6 JUNE 2013 Written Answers 1272W Human Trafficking Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospital bed spaces for persons who have undergone human trafficking have been available in each of the last 10 years; and what the projected number of such beds is in each of the next three years. [156947] Anna Soubry: The Department recognises that the impact of human trafficking on victims is significant for both mental health and physical health. Information on the number of hospital bed spaces available for individuals under criteria such as ‘for persons who have undergone human trafficking’ is not collected in the national health service. Lyxumia Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment his Department has made of the diabetes drug Lyxumia. [156934] Norman Lamb: Lyxumia contains the active ingredient lixisenatide and was authorised as a medicine by the European Commission in February 2013. The data supporting the quality, safety and efficacy of Lyxumia have been fully assessed and the benefit/risk profile is considered positive in the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when used in combination with other glucose lowering medicines and/or insulin. The supporting data were assessed by the Committee on Human Medicinal Products (of the European Medicines Agency) and in which the United Kingdom is represented. Mental Health Services Mike Weatherley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will assess the potential effects on NHS waiting times for mindfulness-based cognitive therapy courses of opening up the market to those who provide the course to clients who pay; [158168] (2) what assessment he has made of the (a) NHS and (b) private provider waiting time for patients with depresssion in Sussex for the mindfulness based cognitive therapy course; [158169] (3) if he will make an assessment of the potential effects on accident and emergency departments of the prescription of the NICE-recommended mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy courses for patients with anxiety and depression; [158170] (4) what assessment he has made of trends in the number of prescriptions written for antidepressants since the launch of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme. [158171] Norman Lamb: No assessment is currently planned to assess the impact, if any, of the potential effects of opening up the market to private providers on national health service waiting times for mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) courses. No assessments are currently planned to evaluate the potential effects on accident and emergency departments, of the prescription of mindfulness-based CBT for patients with anxiety and depression; or trends in the number of prescriptions written for antidepressants since the launch of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. The number of people waiting 28 days or more for IAPT treatment across the three primary care trusts in Sussex has been reducing steadily from 6,792 (as of 30 June 2012) to 5,296 (as of 31 December 2012), the most recent date for which figures are available. These figures are for IAPT treatment and not confined to people waiting for mindfulness-based approaches and include people with depression and people with anxiety disorders. We do not keep figures centrally for private provider waiting times for patients with depression in Sussex. Midwives Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his Department’s recommended ratio of mothers to midwives is; and what information his Department holds on which health authorities have not employed sufficient midwives to meet that recommended level. [157845] Dr Poulter: Under the current Government, midwife numbers have increased by over 1,300, and there are record numbers of midwives in training. The Department does not recommend a midwife to births ratio. The midwife to births ratio is an indication of throughput only, and does not indicate the safety, quality or outcome of the service provided. It is the responsibility of national health service organisations to ensure high quality care and choice for women in pregnancy and during childbirth. However, the Government is committed to giving mothers the support and care they need throughout their pregnancy, birth and after birth. Safety and high quality care for mothers are at the heart of maternity services. Health Education England will ensure that overall the work force has the right skills, behaviours and training, and is available in the right numbers, to support the delivery of excellent health care and drive health improvement. Local Education and Training Boards have reported that their service provider partners are actively engaged in reviewing the level and mix of nursing and related health care staffing, including midwives, in response to a range of factors including higher activity than forecast. In parallel organisations will be considering issues associated with productivity to ensure staffing levels are both safe and affordable. Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many student midwives there have been in each year for which data is available since 1983. [157849] Dr Poulter: The following table contains the earliest data available for training places commissioned for student midwives each year. Record numbers of midwives are currently in training.

The 18 month training is a conversion course. Source: Quarterly Monitoring Return NHS 111 Mr Jamie Reed: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many calls NHS 111 received in each week since 1 April 2013; how many of these calls were answered; and how long, on average, it took for such calls to be answered in each such week. [158312] Anna Soubry: This information is not held in the format requested. However, NHS England will publish April’s monthly NHS 111 Minimum Data Set on 7 June. This will show data for the whole of the month. It is for clinical commissioning groups, with their local clinicians, and supported by NHS England, to continue to work with all parts of their urgent care system to improve responsiveness and quality of the services locally. Quality of Care and Treatment Provided by 14 Hospital Trusts in England Review Sir Bob Russell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what arrangements have been made for the Keogh Review team to meet hon. Members whose constituencies are served by hospitals being investigated by that Review; and if he will make a statement. [158218] Dr Poulter: Professor Sir Bruce Keogh met with hon. Members on 23 April 2013 regarding his review into the quality of care and treatment provided by 14 hospital trusts in England. This meeting was hosted by my hon. Friend the Member for Wycombe (Steve Baker). Following the meeting, Professor Keogh wrote to all hon. Members whose constituencies were predominantly served by one of the 14 trusts involved in the review, including those who were unable to attend the meeting in April. The letter provided hon. Members with contact details through which they could raise further queries about the review. We understand that Professor Keogh is working to ensure that all hon. Members whose constituencies are affected by the review are offered a briefing on its findings in advance of the final reports being published. WOMEN AND EQUALITIES Employment Tribunals Service Alison Seabeck: To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities what recent assessment she has made of the effects on (a) all women and (b) women bringing pregnancy-related cases of the introduction of fees for employment tribunals. [154669] Mrs Grant: There is no evidence to suggest that introducing fees into the employment tribunals will disadvantage or deter women from bringing claims, including discrimination or pregnancy-related claims. The aim of introducing fees is to transfer some of the cost of administering the tribunals from the taxpayer to the users of the service. For those who cannot afford fees, a fee remission scheme will operate to ensure access to the tribunal is not affected. Women are more likely to fall into the lower income brackets so they are more likely to qualify for partial or full fee remissions. As a consequence they are unlikely to be detrimentally impacted by the introduction of fees. Further detail is available in the equality impact assessment completed by the Government relating to the introduction of fees in employment tribunals that can be found here: https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/et-feecharging-regime-cp22-2011 CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT Public Lending Right Sir Peter Bottomley: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport whether she is considering extending the public lending right to (a) ebooks whether borrowed remotely or on library premises, (b) audio books borrowed remotely or on library premises and (c) all volunteer libraries; and if she will make a statement. [158109] Mr Vaizey: The Government response to William Sieghart’s review of e-lending in public libraries in England was published on 27 March 2013 and sets out the Government’s position in terms of extending public lending right (PLR) to audiobooks and e-books: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/an-independentreview-of-e-lending-in-public-libraries-in-england Any proposal for the potential extension of PLR will be communicated in due course, following full consideration of this matter. A statement relating to how PLR applies to communitysupported libraries is available on the Government’s website on the following link: https://www.gov.uk/public-lending-right-how-it-applies Written Questions: Government Responses Mr Rob Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when she plans to answer Question 156335, tabled by the hon. Member for Reading East on 15 May 2013 for answer on 20 May 2013. [158396]
