Answer

Andrew Mackinlay: To ask the Secretary of State for Health to ask which (a) hospital orthopaedic directorates, (b) hospital infection control teams, (c) hospital chief executives and (d) hospital vascular directorates did not reply to the National Audit Office survey on infection control between July and September 2003; what the explanation was in each case for the failure to respond; what action he proposes to take in each case; and if he will publish the returns requested by the National Audit Office survey. [185651] Miss Melanie Johnson: Information on non- responders is shown in the table. The overall response rate for the survey was good and we understand the main reason for not completing the questionnaire was pressure of business. Non-responders will not be followed up as the aim of the survey was to produce a snapshot of the situation in 2003. The survey results were used in the National Audit Office report and there are no plans for a separate publication.
