Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what the estimated cost of a full-length active prosthetic arm is within the NHS; [179077] (2) if he will make a statement on NHS procedures for fitting individuals without arms with active prosthetic arms; [179078] (3) if he will make a statement on NHS multidisciplinary teams trained to work with multiple limb disability; [179094] (4) what active upper limb prosthetics are available through the NHS; and how many users there are. [179097] Dr. Ladyman: It is for primary care trusts in partnership with strategic health authorities and other local stakeholders to determine how best to use their funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health, tackling health inequalities and modernising services. This process provides the means for addressing local needs within the health community, including the provision of prosthetic services and multidisciplinary teams to work with multiple limb disability. Patients are encouraged to discuss the prosthetic limb prescription with the prosthetist and the wider healthcare team concerned. Multidisciplinary assessment focuses on the needs of individual patients and enables patients to actively contribute to the decision making process. The national health service has available to it, via contracts negotiated by the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency, virtually everything that is available on the international market The table shows the three general types of full-length active prosthetic arms available within the NHS. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many individuals in England have congenital multiple limb disability; [179073] (2) what plans he has to provide a multidisciplinary centre for congenital multiple limb disability sufferers incorporating orthopaedic and rehabilitation services;. [179074] (3) what specialist medical facilities exist to support those with congenital multiple limb disability;. [179093] (4) what the procedures in the NHS are for referring patients with multiple limb disability to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for assessment;. [179095] (5) how many UK patients have been referred through the NHS to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for multiple limb disability. [179096] Dr. Ladyman: Figures on how many individuals in England have congenital multiple limb disability are not collected centrally, although the Department is aware that there are 455 individuals currently being supported in the United Kingdom by the Thalidomide Trust. Also, the Department recorded 18,910 finished admission episodes in national health service hospitals in England in 2002-03 relating to congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system. A finished admission episode is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. It is for primary care trusts (PCTs), in partnership with strategic health authorities and other local stakeholders, to determine how best to use their funds to meet national and local priorities for improving health, tackling health inequalities and modernising services. This process provides the means for addressing local needs within the health community including the provision of prosthetic limbs. Prosthetic services are delivered to patients through 33 disablement service centres in England. Patients normally attend their local centre, but can attend another if they wish. If an overseas option is considered, it would be for the local PCT commissioning team to agree that. Figures on how many UK patients have been referred through the NHS to the Ex-Centre in Stockholm for multiple limb disability are not collected centrally. Prosthetic limbs are provided free of charge to single or multiple prosthetic limb users by the NHS. The NHS has available to it, via contracts negotiated by the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency, virtually everything that is available on the international market. Furthermore, local healthcare professionals have the ability to obtain products from outside of the current national agreement if it is deemed appropriate for the specific needs of particular patients.
