Mr. Todd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he proposes to link pharmacies to NHSnet. [131426]
Ms Rosie Winterton: The current contract for NHSnet is due to expire next year. It would be inappropriate to negotiate any amendment
to this at the present time to enable community pharmacies to gain connectivity. The model of connectivity needs to take into
account future requirements that may arise out of our wish to see community pharmacists as a more integrated part of the national
health service, services that they may provide under the new community pharmacy contract currently under discussion and delivery of
the national prescription service target outlined in "Delivering 21st Century IT Support for the NHS". The N3 networking project,
which is responsible for procuring a successor network to NHSnet, is currently considering which N3 services could help meet these
community pharmacy connectivity requirements.

Dr. Evan Harris: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what targets have been set for the electronic transfer of radiology
reports; what the baseline is for the target; in which document the target was published; and what progress has been made towards
the target. [128913]
Mr. Hutton: The Government's strategy document, "Building the Information Core--Implementing the NHS Plan" published in 2000 set the
target of March 2003 for all radiology reports between hospital and general practitioners to be sent electronically. This target was
based on the use of messaging technology. Work in this area has been superseded by the national programme for information technology
in the national health service and the development of the integrated care records service (ICRS). Electronic transfer of radiology
reports forms one element of phase 1 that will be implemented by December 2004.
It was decided to suspend roll out of the message based technology for radiology reports as a more modern, reliable and cost
effective set of technology options are available within the development of the online database system, for the ICRS. This will
provide a more reliable arrangement with lower unit costs and increased flexibility for clinicians.

Mr. Steen: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many prescriptions have been issued by GPs in each of the last five years;
and what steps have been taken to modernise the system. [128703]
Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 15 September 2003]:
Information on the number of prescriptions dispensed in the community in each of the last five years is shown in the table.
In June 2002, three pilot exercises commissioned by the Department of Health commenced to examine the electronic transmission of
prescriptions (ETP). The pilots explained options for linking computerised general practitioner practices to local community
pharmacies and the Prescription Pricing Authority using the NHSnet. The pilots, which formally closed at the end of June 2003, were
independently evaluated and have helped to identify the benefits, risks and costs associated with ETP. These findings will be used
to inform the development of a sustainable, national prescription service which is an integral part of the national health service
information technology strategy.

Mr. Arbuthnot: To ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission (1) whether the
House of Commons Commission plans to comply with UK Security Standard BS7799, relating to computer security, by the end of 2003;
[126584]
(2) what (a) technical and (b) procedural security counter-measures are in place to protect PDVN users' data and e-mails from
unauthorised internal or external interception while users are working (i) on the Parliamentary Estate and (ii) remotely. [126586]
Sir Archy Kirkwood: Security of Members' e-mails and data is important; measures are in place to ensure that users working remotely
and on the Parliamentary Estate are protected. As a matter of policy, the Commission does not comment on the details of
parliamentary security arrangements. However, I can say that there is a parliamentary IT security policy for information technology
and systems and that work is in hand to ensure that this policy keeps pace with developments in current best practice. We have no
plans at present to seek accreditation to BS7799, but the philosophy and best practice elements within the standard form an
important part of our approach.
All users of the network are subject to conventional password controls, which in turn, govern file rights and system permissions to
prevent unauthorised access internally. For users on the Estate, the protection of corporate firewalls and anti-virus software
prevents unauthorised external access. For remote users, the introduction of data encryption, personal firewalls and anti-virus
software with the new Virtual Private Network (VPN) service hosted on known parliamentary-issued personal computers will minimise
the risk of unauthorised access and interception. Members and their staff using equipment other than that provided or purchased
centrally are responsible for their own arrangements.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) what factors underlie the decision not to include a
requirement for access technology for visually-impaired people in the funding for the People's Network and UK online; what plans she
has to include it; and if she will make a statement; [110478]
(2) if she will make it her policy to ensure that when public money is made available to libraries a proportion of it is allocated
to library services and to access to books for visually-impaired people; and if she will make a statement; [110480]
(3) what plans she has to ensure that the review of the Public Library Standards of England and Wales will ensure that there are
specific requirements for library services to visually-impaired people; [110479]
(4) what assessment she has made of the access to reading of visually-impaired people; and what plans she has to assist the
charities who work in this field to improve the level of access; [110481]
Mr. Caborn: Applications for Capital Modernisation Funding (CMF) to support UK Online centres had to include access provision for
those with physical, learning, or sensory disabilities. Successful bidders would have received appropriate equipment. UK Online
includes a public libraries element, The People's Network, which is funded by the National Lottery through the New Opportunities
Fund, and allows each computer to be configured for those with visual impairments.
In addition, 811 packages, made available to online centres, include large keyboards together with magnification and screen reading
software, which incorporates voice output for text.
The Office of the e-Envoy has also established a Working Group of those in the website design industry to improve accessibility and
the Department for Education and Skills is investing significant sums to facilitate the implementation of the Special Educational
Needs and Disability Act (SENDA) which will broaden access to education, and educational material. The Copyright (Visually Impaired
Persons) Act 2002 removes barriers to obtaining copyright clearance for voluntary bodies and educational establishments working on
behalf of the visually impaired. A commencement order is expected to be made shortly.
Current Public Library Standards encourage Library Authorities to provide effective, and relevant services reinforced by the
creation of local targets which focus on important user groups including those with disabilities. A review of existing Public
Library Standards will, of course, include consideration of how the standards should best reflect the needs of the visually impaired
and other specialist users.
Within the local authority Standard Spending Assessment there is block funding for cultural services, including Public Libraries. In
accordance with the policy for local government, outlined in the White Paper "Strong Local Leadership--Quality Public Service",
there is no intention to `ring-fence' funds to the public library service. Each local authority must use its own discretion when
allocating funds in this area. No formal assessment of access to reading for the visually impaired has been made. The Government are
committed to ensuring that disabled people can participate in every aspect of normal life, although, in considering public
expenditure, the Government must also take into account a wide range of competing priorities. A number of different Government
Departments have an interest in this policy area, and activity is wide and varied, including improving access to books and
publications in alternative formats.
The Director General of the RNIB has recently written to Government Departments setting out a series of recommendations and actions
which he would like to see put in place. A meeting of officials from across Whitehall is planned for mid-May and, it is expected
that an announcement of what assistance might be available will follow soon after.

Sir Archy Kirkwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions which local authorities do not have electronic interfaces
with (a) the Pension Service and (b) Jobcentre Plus. [106648]
Maria Eagle: Electronic access between local authorities and the Pension Service and Jobcentre Plus is available through remote
access terminals. Remote access terminals provide a simple, inexpensive system that greatly speeds up the transfer of information
between the Department and local authorities.
All authorities have access to remote access terminals, with the exception of the Council of the Isles of Scilly, where the housing
benefit case load is so small (around 50 cases at August 2002) that it would not be financially viable to invest in the enhanced
technology.

Mrs. Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) pursuant to his answer of 17 March, Official Report, column
586W, on the Inmate Information System (IIS), what percentage of inmates serving sentences have had their records linked to the IIS;
what measures are being taken to address the limitations of the system; and what timetable he has set for rectifying these
limitations; [105358]
(2) pursuant to his answer of 17 March, Official Report, column 586W, on the Inmate Information System (IIS), which computer systems
are being considered as replacements for the IIS; and what the costs are of the systems being considered. [105359]
Hilary Benn: All prisons and prisoner records are linked to the Inmate Information System (IIS), although any linking of current
records to previous custody information is done manually, as I outlined in my answer of 17 March 2003, Official Report, column 586W,
to the hon. Member. It is not possible to provide a percentage of the records that are linked in this way, as no central record is
maintained of this information.
However, prisons do routinely receive details of previous convictions from the court or police authorities and everything possible
is done to link current records with previous custody information.
The current IIS system is being reviewed and the linking of information, both on previous periods in custody and more widely with
other Criminal Justice agencies, will be a major consideration of that review. This work is at its initial stages and it is not yet
possible to give any firm details of likely timescales, costs or computer systems involved in the implementation.

Yvette Cooper: Links between the police and the Magistrates courts case management systems already exist in some areas. The
implementation of NSPIS Case Preparation system (the police's new case management application), together with the implementation of
a standard national software application in Magistrates' courts will extend these links across England and Wales over the next three
years.
We plan to join together the existing and developing IT systems in a staged development, using an `information walkway' known as the
Criminal Justice Exchange to link individual systems. It will enable the courts and other criminal justice agencies to share case
data--including information relating to bail-- electronically.
This is part of a major IT and business change programme over the next three years for which £834 million of new money has been
provided in the SR2002 settlement for the CJS as a whole.
