Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what the expected impact is of the departmental change programme on the
provision of benefit and welfare services to the public; [153680]
(2) what the specific objectives are of the departmental change programme; and how the Department has consulted (a) staff,
(b) other Government Departments and agencies and (c) external agencies and partners about this matter; [153682]
(3) what analysis has been carried out to demonstrate that the restructuring programme for the Department will provide
(a) better value for money and (b) better accountability; [153683]
(4) what health programmes and services will be affected by the reorganisation and staff cuts within the Department. [153684]
Mr. Hutton: The Department will be responsible for setting overall direction for the health and social care system, enabling choice
in service provision, setting standards, securing resources, making the big investment decisions and holding the whole system to
account through independent regulation and inspection. This will mean that the capacity needed for the whole system to operate
effectively is available. Patients, service users and providers of care will all know what is expected anywhere in the country.
Where standards are not being met, the Government will intervene where necessary.
The change programme will focus the Department on a more strategic role, devolving responsibility to the front line. It will change
the way the Department does its business so that it can provide more effective leadership and a better service to Ministers and the
public. This will result in a reduction in the size of the core Department by 1,400--from over 3,600 posts to 2,200--by October
2004.
Staff have been consulted through major events and workshops in London and Leeds to help design the Department, monthly written and
face-to-face briefings and monthly workshops on human resource questions. Government Departments, agencies and other partners have
been consulted through special events in June and October 2004 to help design the changes, a series of one- to-one meetings on
particular issues and progress updates from the Permanent Secretary, Sir Nigel Crisp, in June and October 2004.
The restructuring will provide a slimmer, more focused centre--reducing burden and duplication in the system. New policy development
processes will ensure we make the best use of resources by focusing on priorities and involving service users in policy development.
New working methods will improve our accountability to Parliament and the public. The change programme will be evaluated to check
its delivery.
The change programme supports the drive for better public services. It ensures that the `centre of gravity' moves closer to the
frontline. More freedom for frontline staff will lead to better services for patients and users.

Mr. Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the effects of Commission Decision 179 of 18
April 2000, 2002/I54/EC, OJ L54 25 February 2002, on current practice; and what reasons underlie the delay in enactment. [57898]
Mr. Hutton: The Administrative Commission on Social Security for Migrant Workers oversees the application of regulations (EEC)
1408-71 and 574-72 on co-ordination of the social security and health care schemes of the member states. Administrative Commission
Decision 179 concerned technical amendments to a number of European Union forms used for the application of various aspects of the
regulations as a consequence of minor changes to the regulations themselves.
The position on each of the EU forms concerned is as follows: E111 has been changed to afford extra health rights for students in
some member states; there are no practical effects for UK students. UK E111s will be amended during the next reprint of the
Department's leaflet, "Health Advice for Travellers", in late summer; E111B is issued only by Belgium; E113 and E114 are not issued
by, nor required by, the UK; E115-118 are concerned with claims for cash incapacity benefits and are being reprinted; E125-127 are
used between member states' health administrations on reimbursement of health care costs; UK-issued forms are produced
electronically and the computer system is being updated.
