Jon Trickett: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) when the NHS Student Grants Unit will be able to receive email correspondence; [196538] (2) how many claims were handled by the NHS Student Grants Unit in Blackpool in each of the last three years; [196539] (3) what targets have been set for payments of NHS bursaries; [196540] (4) what the average grant for a final year medical student from the NHS Bursaries Unit was in the last year for which figures are available; [196541] (5) how many staff are employed in the NHS Student Grants Unit in Blackpool; and if he will make a statement; [196542] (6) whether there is a dedicated helpline for hon. Members to contact the NHS Bursary Unit in Blackpool; and if he will make a statement; [196543] (7) what the target response time by telephone is for the NHS Student Grants Unit in Blackpool. [196980] Mr. Hutton: Email inquiries to the national health service student grants unit can be sent to nhs- sgu@ukonline.co.uk. A technical problem resulted in the email account going off-line for a short period in the week commencing 1 November, but this issue has now been resolved. NHS bursaries awards in each of the last three financial years are shown in the table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Number of cases 2002-03 80,260 2003-04 85,685 2004-051 75,684 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Figure to date. The target for bursary payments for first year students is six working days following course enrolment and correct completion of application form. The average NHS bursary awarded to medical and dental students in academic year 2003-04, the last year for which a figure is available, was £1,825. The student grants unit currently employs 73 staff on permanent or fixed term contracts. An additional 10 staff are employed on a casual basis. Hon. and right hon. Members can contact the student grants unit management team on telephone number 01253 393459. This separate British Telecom line has been set up specifically to deal with hon. and right hon. Member's constituent inquiries. There is no specific target response time for telephone calls. The student grants unit telephone system can deal with 30 calls (in and out) simultaneously and 24 of the unit's staff routinely deal with these inquiries on a rota basis. If no officer is immediately available to deal with an inquiry, the caller is placed in a queuing system until one becomes available. Between January and September 2004, the unit has successfully dealt with 77,038 calls.

Helen Southworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of current consumer protection measures in dealing with e-mail promotion and transaction of frauds; and what steps she will take to ensure that perpetrators of such e-mails receive appropriate penalties. [179496] Mr. Timms: E-mail is an extremely powerful vehicle for targeting vast numbers of consumers at very low cost. The types of scams that they carry are also becoming more sophisticated and the nature of the medium also means perpetrators can easily hide their real identities. This particular kind of fraud is therefore challenging, but we believe we are helping to put in place an effective framework of activities to meet it. First, through law and enforcement co-operation. Email fraud is dealt with under the same laws as other fraud and consumer protection laws such as misleading advertising and distance selling. Therefore they incur the same penalties for infringements of these laws. Our focus then is on ensuring that they can be effectively enforced. To help this process, we are building partnerships between Government, regulators and industry to develop ways--including technological solutions--to find the perpetrators and stop this kind of activity. As many of these types of e-mail come from abroad, a major part of this is building effective co-operation agreements with other countries. In the past two years the UK has built up a network of consumer protection co-operation agreements with other countries including the United States and our European Union partners, and we are at the forefront of driving international co-operation to tackle unsolicited emails (SPAM). Second, through information. Advice and guidance to help consumers is key. The Department of Trade and Industry, Home Office and Office of Fair Trading all provide a wide range of information on email fraud for consumers. See www.dti.gov.uk/ccp www.homeoffice. gov.uk and www.oft.gov.uk Consumers should also take note of the help and guidance given by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). We believe that this approach--encompassing co- operation, enforcement, information provision and technological solutions--is the right one, and we will continue to improve and build on these elements.
