Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health by what means his Department (a) monitors and (b) evaluates medical research undertaken elsewhere in the world. [140543] Ms Stuart: The Department has established mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating medical research undertaken elsewhere in the world. In general, this is an ongoing activity and is part of the day-to-day work of many officials particularly in-house scientists and doctors who are sometimes national and international experts themselves. It is also part of the remit of many of the Department's advisory committees to advise on new scientific discoveries and to present recommendations for further research. The Department is able to call on advice from the Medical Research Council which itself maintains close contact with the progress and implications of medical research around the world. In addition, there are four specific mechanisms. The National Horizon Scanning Centre (NHSC) at the University of Birmingham provides advance notice to the Department of new and emerging health technologies that might require urgent evaluation, consideration of clinical and cost impact or modification of clinical guidance. Health technologies include pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic tests and procedures, surgery, rehabilitation and health promotion activities. The NHSC hosts the Secretariat for EuroScan, the European Information Network on New and Changing Health Technologies. EuroScan was developed to explore the potential for and benefits of sharing information on selected emerging health technologies or new applications of existing ones. The United Kingdom Cochrane Centre has the overall purpose of facilitating and co-ordinating reviews primarily in the specialised area of randomised controlled trials of health care. Cochrane Reviews place an emphasis on completeness and continuous updating. They are extremely thorough and put a lot of work into identifying relevant research from around the world. The UK Cochrane Centre helped establish the Cochrane Collaboration, which is an independent, international organisation that aims to help people make well informed decisions about health care by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. The Cochrane Reviews are undertaken by Collaborative Review Groups (CRGs) comprising experts in particular fields from all over the world. The Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) commissions and supports experts to undertake specific systematic reviews in areas of priority to the National Health Service. In conducting reviews, the UK Cochrane Centre and CRD work closely together and take account of all work relevant to their area, including work funded in this country by organisations other than the NHS, and work undertaken overseas. The CRD also maintains the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) which contains approximately 500 abstracts of systematic reviews. The NHS Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme is a national programme of research funded by the Department's research and development programme. The purpose of the programme is to ensure that high quality research information on the cost, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies available to those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. The National Co-ordinating Centre for HTA (NCCHTA), which is part of the Wessex Institute for Health Research and Development at the University of Southampton, co-ordinates the HTA programme on behalf of the research and development programme. Much of the work of the programme comprises systematic reviews of the worldwide literature on particular topics. The HTA Programme maintains links with international HTA organisations such as the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment and the International Society of Technology Assessment in Health Care. There is also close collaboration between the NCCHTA and other international agencies. In particular, NCCHTA works closely with the UK Cochrane Centre, the Cochrane Collaboration and the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination to ensure co-ordination between these related activities.

Mr. Levitt: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the progress of the Electronic Record Demonstrator Implementation Programme and progress towards achieving a national electronic health record database; what timescale he is working to; and if he plans to fund the chosen programme from (a) NHS funds, (b) a public-private partnership and (c) other sources. [137273] Ms Stuart: The Electronic Record Development and Implementation Programme (ERDIP) was launched in November 1999. Following the selection exercise the names of the successful Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Electronic Patient Record (EPR) demonstrator sites were announced in April and June 2000 respectively. These have been placed in the Library. The NHS Information Authority (NHSIA) is currently finalising deliverables, timescales and associated release of funding with each of the individual sites. Detailed Project Initiation Documents will be available on the NHSIA website at http://nww.nhsia.nhs.uk once the Project Briefs have been approved. The work of the demonstrator sites is being supported by three projects managed centrally by the NHSIA: Definition of level 3 EPR for acute hospitals for integrated care pathways and electronic prescribing. The total cost of this work will be around £39,000, which will be met from the NHSIA's central budget; Definition of the components of the first generation EHR that will need to be in place by 2005 to support 24-hour emergency care access to patient records. This year the NHSIA will spend around £62,000 against this activity, with further work being commissioned in years 2001-03. The cost of all of this work will be met from the NHSIA's central budget; The development of an evaluation programme to ensure the sites will deliver solutions that can be applied on a national basis (£1.7 million from the Modernisation Fund has been set aside for this programme). The management costs of ERDIP are being funded from the NHSIA's central budget. In total, (including the £1.7 million), up to £13.1 million from the Modernisation Fund will be used to support the cost of the two-year demonstrator programme. These funds will be used to deliver solutions earlier to the NHS and are in addition to the £132 million allocated for local investment in the implementation of the Strategy in 2000-01. Further sums will be made available to the Service as part of the spending review settlement for the period 2001-04. These will be announced in the autumn as part of the three-year allocations for health authorities.
