Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 7 July 2003, Official Report, column 647W, on robbery/ burglary victims, how many injuries were sustained in muggings and robberies in each year. [125796] Ms Blears: Data on the number of injuries sustained in muggings and robberies in the specified years is not published. However, the British Crime Survey (BCS) is able to provide trend estimates of the number of incidents of mugging and robbery in England and Wales (Table A), additionally the BCS also collects information on the proportion of violent incidents involving injury (Table B). Violent incidents from the BCS can be classified into a violence typology comprising domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance incidents. Violent crime from the BCS can also be separated into robbery, wounding, common assault, and snatch theft. The information regarding injuries sustained for this latter breakdown is not published prior to 2001-02 BCS interviews. Mugging is a popular rather than a legal term, comprising robbery, attempted robbery and snatch theft from the person. The BCS does not cover incidents against those aged under 16, nor those not living in private households. Table A: Trends in BCS incidents of robbery and mugging, 1998 BCS, 2000 BCS and 2001-02 BCS interviews Thousand _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1997 1999 2001-02 BCS interviews Robbery 339 413 362 Mugging 423 472 441 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Table B: Injuries sustained in muggings (1998 BCS, 2000 BCS and 2001-02 BCS interviews) and robbery (2001-02 BCS interviews) Percentage _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Mugging Robbery 1998 2000 2001-02 2001-02 No physical injury 57 71 70 63 Minor bruise/black eye 24 14 15 18 Severe bruising 14 12 17 21 Scratches 7 10 6 7 Cuts 12 4 11 13 Broken bones 1 1 2 2 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. Results for muggings should be treated with caution due to the small number of incidents. 2. More than one type of physical injury may have occurred. 3. More than one response was allowed.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of (a) serious injury and (b) death there have been involving victims of (i) robbery and (ii) burglary in each of the past five years. [122111] Ms Blears: (a) Data on the number of cases of serious injury involving victims of (i) robbery and (ii) burglary are not held centrally. The British Crime Survey (BCS) collects some information on injuries sustained in violent incidents. Violent incidents from the BCS can be classified into a violence typology comprised of domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance incidents. Violent crime from the BCS can also be separated into robbery, wounding, common assault, and snatch theft. The information regarding injuries sustained for this latter breakdown is not published prior to 2001-02 BCSinterviews. Mugging is a popular rather than a legal term, comprising robbery, attempted robbery and snatch theft from the person. The BCS does not cover incidents against those aged under 16 or those not living in private households. Available information is given in the following table. Injuries sustained in muggings (1998 BCS, 2000 BCS and 2001/02 BCS interviews) Percentages _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1998 2000 2001-02 2001-02 Minor bruise/black eye 24 14 15 18 Severe bruising 14 12 17 21 Scratches 7 10 6 7 Cuts 12 4 11 13 Broken bones 1 1 2 2 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. Results for muggings should be treated with caution due to the small number of incidents. 2. More than one type of physical injury may have occurred. 3. More than one response was allowed. (b) The numbers of deaths arising from robbery and burglary during the years 1997-98 to 2001-02 are itemised in the following table. Deaths involving victims of robbery and burglary 1997-98 to 2001-02 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1997-98 1998-99 1999-2000 2000-01 2001-02 Robbery 23 28 23 23 37 Burglary 13 13 9 3 12 Total 36 41 32 26 49 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research projects focusing on (a) the link between physical activity and the development of breast cancer, (b) diet and the development of breast cancer and (c) breast cancer prevention his Department is funding; and if he will make a statement. [88716] Ms Blears: The Medical Research Council (MRC), which receives its funding from the Department of Trade and Industry via the Office of Science and Technology, is the main agency through which the Government supports research on the causes and treatments of disease, including all types of cancer. The Department of Health contributes to the strategies and priorities of the MRC by meeting the national health service costs of the MRC's research (and of charity funded research). The Department also directly funds research to support policy development in health and social care, and to support effective practice in the NHS. In terms of directly funded research, the Department's main focus is on interventions to promote healthy living, including diet and physical exercise, and on research on breast cancer screening. For example, the Department is funding research projects with the following titles: A health impact assessment of agricultural policy, using the impact on fruit and vegetable consumption as a case study; Reducing inequalities in health and diet: the impact of a food retail development--a pilot study; Field co-ordination in health promotion linked to the Cochrane Collaboration. The Department also funds a programme of work at the cancer screening evaluation unit, which evaluates the effectiveness of screening. Part of this programme includes work on breast cancer screening. There are plans for an observational individual-based study of the efficacy of the breast screening programme. The Department provides joint funding for the age trial, on the effect on breast cancer mortality of annual screening from age 40. Over 75 per cent. of the Department's total expenditure on all health research, including on cancer, is devolved to NHS organisations and details are not routinely collected centrally. Summary information about this research is available on the national research register, which is on the web at www.doh.gov.uk/ research. The Department is a member of the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI). The recent NCRI report "Strategic Analysis 2002" analysed most of the directly funded research of Government and charity funders. The analyses revealed relatively low sums spent on cancer prevention, which has prompted the NCRI to set up a strategic planning group to look at this area to see what further research may be possible and what extra resources might be needed to bring this about. The Department will be working in partnership with its Government and charity cancer research funding partners to take this work forward.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much money has been spent by the Government on sexual health in each of the last six years. [86569] Ms Blears: Prior to the development of the sexual health and HIV strategy, there was no central departmental budget for sexual health. Funding was available under the Section 64 General Scheme (section 64 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968) and other central budgets to fund a variety of projects and organisations involved in sexual health provision and health promotion. Allocations for HIV/AIDS, which were mainstreamed from April 2002; are shown in the table. Following publication of the sexual health and HIV strategy, new investment of £47.5 million was announced to support initiatives in the strategy. During 2001-02, we invested £5.5 million to prepare for implementation. During 2002-03, we have invested a further £14 million, including over £5 million in genito- urinary medicine services, £1.5 million to roll out the chlamydia screening programme and £2 million to launch the national .information campaign. The vast majority of funding for sexual health services is from mainstream national health service allocations to health authorities, up to March 2002, and primary care trusts.
