Health Trainers

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made on the introduction of health trainers; which primary care trusts (PCTs) have employed health trainers; how many health trainers have been appointed by each of those PCTs; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

We do not have information on health trainers broken down by primary care trust (PCT). The programme for 2006-07 has been rolled out across spearhead PCTs with 2007-08 seeing the programme expanded to all PCTs.We do, however, have an overall figure of health trainers currently recruited to the programme, which stands at approximately 900. The vast majority of these are sited in spearhead PCTs.
