Mr. Bellingham: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on the operation of the Rover Task Force. [142124] Jacqui Smith: The Rover Task Force (RTF) was set up in 2000 to look at the potential effects on the region's economy of the then expected decline of Rover and its supply industry--which was a severe risk at the time of the BMW withdrawal from the company. The report it produced has been carried forward primarily by Advantage West Midlands (the RDA). It remains one of the best examples of speedy response to a crisis coupled with long-term action to address structural change. There are three themes arising from the RTF: Modernisation--support to the automotive supply chain in its continuous improvement activity; Diversification--promotion of and support to encourage businesses to engage in new activity to enable the region to be less dependent on its traditional industries; and Regeneration--the creation of High Tech Corridors to support the modernisation and diversification of the region's economy by attracting and developing more high tech, high value added businesses by virtue of the presence of research institutions, universities and property opportunities. Modernisation and Diversification projects are continuing with spend on target and outputs exceeding or in line with expectations. For example, at end of 2002-03 over 2,500 jobs have been safeguarded against a target of 1,700. Equally on the Regeneration agenda, a strategy is in place for High Tech Corridors to provide long-term sustainable development of the region.

Mr. Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the death of Mrs. Brenda Jones. [18740] Jacqui Smith: The University Hospitals of Leicester national health service trust is carrying out an urgent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mrs. Jones' death in the accident and emergency department at Leicester Royal infirmary (LRI) after a considerable time spent waiting on a trolley. Initial investigations indicate that Mrs. Jones' treatment in accident and emergency was appropriate to her presenting condition. A post mortem revealed that she died of a pulmonary embolus and it is believed that this could not have been foreseen. Nevertheless, procedures have been revisited and strengthened and the trust has apologised to her husband. Following visits to Leicester Royal infirmary by the National Patients Access Team and the Winter and Emergency Services Team (WEST), a remedial action plan has been put in place, to address the problems of long waiting in accident and emergency at the LRI. The regional office continues to work closely with the trust and WEST to help Leicester to meet the new national target, which states that by the end of March 2002 no-one should have to wait more than four hours in accident and emergency before admission. We are determined to tackle the problem of long trolley waits in some parts of the country. The University hospitals of Leicester NHS trust has received £3.7 million to modernise its accident and emergency department, as part of our £115 million accident and emergency modernisation programme. A further £366,011 was announced last week for extra emergency care nurses at the trust between now and 2003.
