People with long-term health conditions such as diabetes are at a higher risk of mental health disorders, and we are determined to improve co-ordination between services. That is why the national diabetes audit has started collecting information from GP practices on people who have both diabetes and severe mental ill health.

I would be delighted to look at the progress being made in Grampian, and we are always keen to learn from the experiences of other nations. The right hon. Gentleman makes an excellent point: people with long-term physical conditions are more likely to suffer from mental ill health. As for NHS spending, at least £1 in every eight that is spent on long-term conditions is linked to poor mental health and wellbeing spend. We have also produced a pathway for people with long-term physical health conditions to deliver more effective IAPT—increasing access to psychological therapy—services for them. However, we can always continue to learn about this subject.

As is set out in the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) Regime Annual Report, the SARs IT infrastructure processed 381,882 SARs in 2014/15. The Report can be found at:

In the National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, which the Government published on 15 October 2015, it was recognised that the suspicious activity reports (SARS) IT infra structure is coming to the end of its life, and will need to be replaced. The Government launched the Action Plan for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist finance on 21 April, which sets out a programme to deliver a significantly improved anti-money laundering regime for the UK. As part of these improvements we will be working with public and private stakeholders to develop a replacement SARs IT infrastructure.

In the Action Plan for anti-money laundering and terrorist financing, the Government set out that a replacement for the existing SARS IT infrastructure will be designed to support a significant improvement in the UK’s anti-money laundering regime. The benefits will include; more effective processing of SARs, including; automated cross-checking with law enforcement databases; development of intelligence on those responsible for money laundering; and better information on threats for sharing with the private sector. We are consulting on the proposals to improve the anti-money laundering regime.

[holding answer 28 November 2013]: Between 1 June 2013 and 31 October 2013, information received in the Intelligence Management System led to 2,996 investigations resulting in enforcement visits and 2,495 arrests.

This is an incomplete picture of activity, as it can take four to five weeks for information received to be researched and for enforcement activity to be undertaken. Results from information received in the latter part of the period will not yet be available.

In many cases, information will be investigated through research and may result in non-enforcement outcomes. This activity is not reflected in these figures.

Full data on the number of deportations are not yet available. As it can take up to six months for a piece of information to result in a deportation or an administrative removal, providing this data now would provide an incomplete and misleading picture of activity.

The figures provided have been derived from management information and are therefore provisional and subject to change. The information has not been quality assured under National Statistics Protocols.

[holding answer 28 November 2013]: The Intelligence Management System (IMS) intake statistics from June to October 2013 are set out in the following table. It should be noted that intake covers all types of incoming information and not solely allegations made by the public.

[holding answer 10 October 2013]: The Government currently holds five databases containing electronic DNA profile information. Details below reflect the position as it stood on 30 September 2013.

The national DNA database (NDNAD) holds DNA profiles taken from individuals and crime scenes. It is used for purposes related to the prevention or detection of crime, the investigation of an offence or the conduct of a prosecution; in the interests of national security; for the purposes of a terrorist investigation; and for purposes related to the identification of a deceased person or of the person to whom material relates. It was set up in April 1995 and currently holds 6,074,866 DNA profiles.

The missing persons DNA database holds DNA profiles obtained from the belongings of people who have gone missing, or from their close relatives (who will have similar DNA), as well as profiles taken from the bodies of unidentified people. It matches missing people (sometimes via their relatives) to unidentified bodies, and can also eliminate a missing person if an unidentified body is found matching their description. It was set up in April 2010 and currently holds 895 DNA profiles.

The vulnerable persons DNA database holds DNA profiles of people who are at risk of harm (for instance due to child sexual exploitation or honour-based violence) and who have asked for their profile to be added. If the person subsequently goes missing, their profile can be checked against the main NDNAD to see if they match to any material such as blood or an unidentified body found at a crime scene, helping the police to investigate their disappearance. It was set up in March 2011 and currently holds 1,967 DNA profiles.

The police elimination database holds DNA profiles for police officers and staff. These profiles are used for elimination purposes in criminal casework. It was set up in August 2000 and currently holds 127,100 profiles.

These four databases are run by the Home Office, having been transferred from the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) on its closure.

The counter-terrorism (CT) DNA database holds profiles retained specifically for the purposes of national security. It was established in July 2006 and is managed and maintained by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on behalf of UK CT policing. Due to the sensitive nature of the CT DNA database it is not possible to confirm the number of profiles held.

Since 30 September 2012, when the Allegations Management System (AMS) was introduced, allegations have resulted in 2,695 investigations with visits by Immigration Enforcement officers, 1,840 arrests and 660 removals. This figure includes deportations and administrative removals.

The arrest and visits data is taken from the National Offenders Database (NOD) and the removals information is from the Case Information Database (CID). The data covers the period up to the end of May 2013.

Notes:

1. All figures quoted are management information which has been subject to internal quality checks. This information has not been quality assured under National Statistics protocols.

2. The numerical information contained within has been rounded to the nearest five.

The allegations database came into operation on 30 September 2012. From this date until 30 June 2013 it had received 48,660 allegations. The allegations data is taken from the Allegation Management System (AMS).

Border Force provides formal notification to aviation carriers of the UK's legislative requirements for the provision of advance passenger data by the service of the IS 72 form, under the Immigration Act 1971 Requirement for Passenger, Crew and Service Information.

Border Force works closely with the airline industry to ensure that they understand their duty to provide passenger data. As part of this engagement, guidance is made available to the carriers, outlining the relevant laws.

Border Force also provides a carrier account management service so that every carrier operating to the UK has a dedicated point of contact if further advice is required.

Further information on the work of Border Force is also provided on the ‘Gov.uk' website, which airlines can refer to.

The information requested is not currently available. The National DNA Database (NDNAD) is designed to match DNA taken from crime scenes with that taken from individuals. It does not hold information on whether those on it have been charged, as this is not necessary for that purpose. As part of the implementation of the Protection of Freedoms Act, work is under way to enable the removal from the NDNAD of the records relating to those without convictions, whether or not charged, in accordance with the provisions of the Act. New software on the Police National Computer will use the information recorded on that system to identify those whose records must be deleted from the NDNAD under the provisions of the Act, and to drive this deletion automatically through a link between the two systems.

Between 1 June 2011 and 31 May 2012, 380 profiles were removed from the National DNA Database under the Exceptional Case Procedure, following requests from English and Welsh forces. Under this procedure, a person may apply to the police force which took the DNA sample and request that their DNA profile be deleted from the NDNAD. If the police force agrees to do so, it requests removal under the Exceptional Case Procedure. In addition, profiles may be deleted because of quality control procedures carried out by the NDNAD, and because of the different legislation governing the retention of profiles applying to Scotland. As part of the implementation of the Protection of Freedoms Act, work is under way to enable the removal from the National DNA Database of records relating to those without convictions in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

As at 31 March 2012, there were 6,969,396 DNA profile records on the National DNA Database (NDNAD) taken by all UK police forces, which relate to an estimated 5,950,612 individuals. At the same date, there were 6,512,884 profile records taken by police forces in England and Wales, which relate to an estimated 5,570,284 individuals.

The number of individuals is estimated because a proportion of DNA profiles held on the NDNAD are replicates, that is a person's profile has been loaded on more then one occasion, for example because a person gave different names on separate arrests. The presence of these replicate profiles on the NDNAD does not impact on the effectiveness and integrity of the database.

The data provided is management information and has not been formally assessed for compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. As part of the

implementation of the Protection of Freedoms Act, work is under way to enable the removal from the National DNA Database of records relating to those without convictions in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
