Mr. Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what data his Department collects from local authorities regarding availability of nursing and residential care beds in their areas; how often that information is collected and collated; and in what form it is published. [142811] Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 15 December 2000]: National Statistics are collected and published on an annual basis on the numbers of residential and nursing care homes and the places or registered beds as at 31 March. Aggregated counts of residential care homes and places within these homes by primary client type and sector of provider are collected from local authorities. Aggregated counts of the number of private nursing homes, hospitals and clinics and the registered beds by type of home, primary client type and broad category of use are collected from health authorities. Both sets of collections identify homes that are registered to provide both residential and nursing care (i.e. dual registered homes). Some information is also collected from individual residential and nursing homes on the facilities available, number of occupied places and nursing staff. Collection of this information is linked to the main pre-announced annual inspection. Information is published in both electronic and paper form, the most recent relating to the position as at 31 March 2000, in the Statistical Bulletin "Community Care Statistics 2000: Residential Personal Social Services for Adults". Copies are available in the Library and are available at the Department of Health website at http://www.doh.gov.uk/public/sb0028.htm.

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will set out the surveys, and information sought in each case, sent to social service departments in the last six months. [139043] Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 20 November 2000]: In support of its business objectives to secure high-quality social care and child protection through local authorities and other agencies, the Department collects statistical information on an annual basis from councils with social services responsibilities. Details of the statistical collections are available on the Department of Health internet site at www.doh.gov.uk/public/pss2000ret.htm. The Department also collects information in support of performance monitoring of individual council's achievements against national targets. The autumn position statement, issued in September, sought performance and progress information in connection with selected aspects of the Department's national priorities guidance objectives and targets. It forms part of the Department's new performance assessment system for social services introduced this year. The winter census of social services was carried out by the Department's social care regional offices in October, covering all councils with social services responsibilities. It gathered information on changes to the number of residential and nursing home places in council areas over the period October 1999-October 2000: and on council expenditure to support admissions. Information that the social services inspectorate requests from individual local authorities to aid the inspection process has not been included.

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what the estimated pigeon population was of (a) London and (b) the rest of England in each of the last 10 years. [139659] Mr. Mullin: My Department does not hold such detailed information on feral pigeon populations but I can provide a summary of the best information available. Feral pigeons are one of the most abundant urban bird species and are also becoming increasingly common in the English countryside. Major concentrations are present in the conurbations of the south-east, west midlands and north of England. The bird's English range expanded by some 69 per cent. between the late 1960s and early 1990s, apparently due to the colonisation of rural areas in the 1970s. Due to its secure conservation status and difficulty of accurately surveying the high densities found in urban areas, the feral pigeon population has never been satisfactorily censused and many ornithologists ignore their presence on population monitoring plots. The BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey, commenced in 1994, will be the first scheme to provide adequate monitoring of the species. It may also enable us to derive a realistic population estimate, although this will be complicated by the difficulty of separating feral and semi-domesticated birds, and the fact that many thousands of birds, especially young homing pigeons, are added to the population every year. The Breeding Bird Survey results for 1999 suggest that the English feral pigeon population has been stable in recent years, with a 3 per cent. increase on monitoring plots in the period 1994-99. The London Bird Report for 1992 recorded "more than 2000" feral pigeons in Trafalgar Square alone. The latest issue of the London Bird Report covering 1997 states that although the overall population appears to be stable there has been a slow expansion to more rural and suburban habitats in recent decades, while at several well established sites there has been a recent increase in breeding numbers.
