[188818] Mr. Hutton :[holding answer 14 September 2004]: I am aware of the thinking emerging from the Tees Services Review. The Department has asked Professor Ara Darzi to carry out a further review, working with the County Durham and Tees Valley Strategic Health Authority. Professor Darzi's terms of reference are: To consider how the fullest possible range of services can be maintained at Hartlepool Hospital, taking into account work already undertaken in the course of the Tees Services Review and the wider context of proposed provision of primary and secondary care services, both north and south of the Tees; to report by the end of October 2004. Proposals for the future of health services in the Tees Valley will be developed further in the light of Professor Darzi's work. This will include detailed proposals for services to be provided at Hartlepool Hospital. Consultation of the public and patients will then follow. As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has already confirmed--8 June 2004, Official Report, column 132--Hartlepool will still have a full and proper hospital service after the review has taken place.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many (a) whole-time equivalent and (b) headcount paediatric consultant specialists in kidney disease are working in the NHS; and how many vacant posts there are; [185411] (2) how many trainee doctors specialising in paediatrics have been working in the NHS in each of the last seven years, broken down by gender; [185412] (3) how many and what percentage of paediatric trainee doctors have gone on to take up consultancy posts in each of the last seven years. [185413] Mr. Hutton: As at 31 December 2003, there were 1,589 whole-time equivalent and 1,753 headcount paediatric consultants working in the national health service. Data held by the Department does not distinguish how many of these consultants specialise in kidney disease. As at 31 March, the three-month vacancy number for paediatric consultants was 43. The three-month vacancy rate was 2.7 per cent. This is lower than the average consultant three-month vacancy rate across all specialties, which was 4.7 per cent. Table 1 shows the number of doctors in training in the paediatric specialty since 1997, broken down by gender. Table 2 shows the cumulative total and percentage by year of first appearance as a consultant in the medical and dental workforce census.
