Mr. Prosser: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment she has made of the effect of the Sure Start
programme in Dover. [216822]
Margaret Hodge: The Dover Sure Start local programme has been performing very well since it started in September 2000, providing
support to around 817 children and their families. It was reviewed in October 2004 where it was evidenced that the programme was
well established in the community. It is demonstrating excellent engagement with the children's centres agenda and is currently
working towards developing children's centre status for St. Radigunds. It is also contributing to the development of children's
centres at The Ark Centre, Tower Hamlets; Buckland; and Sunshine Corner, Aylesham.
The programme provides services for communities within St. Radigunds, Buckland and parts of Barton and Pineham. It sees all babies
within two months of their birth and offers a wide range of services including: Sure Start befrienders; speech and language
services; community health visiting; community midwifes; toy and equipment library; community shop; community psychiatric nursing;
social worker; Playlink; Homestart; breakfast club; and daycare. The management board is chaired by a parent and there is strong
parental involvement in the programme.
The total amount of Sure Start revenue funding the programme will receive from 2000-06 will be £4,353,948. It has also received
£1,288,517 capital grant. The programme has invested £715,000 of this money towards the creation of a multi-purpose building in St.
Radigunds.

(2) if he will set out, with statistical evidence relating as closely as possible to the Dover constituency, the effects of changes

Ms Rosie Winterton: The Government have put in place a programme of national health service investment and reform since 1997 to
improve service delivery in all parts of the United Kingdom. There is significant evidence that these policies have yielded
considerable benefits for the South Thanet and Dover areas.
For example:
At the end of November 2004, the number of people waiting more than nine months for inpatient treatment within East Kent Coastal
Primary Care Trust (PCT) has fallen to zero from 834 in June 2002.
At the end of September 2004, the number of patients waiting over 13 weeks for outpatient treatment within East Kent Coastal PCT has
fallen to 341 from 1,033 in June 2002.
Between September 1999 and June 2004, the number of consultants at East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust has increased from 201 to 254. The
number of nurses increased from 2,151 in September 1999 to 2,461 in September 2003.
Figures for December 2004 show that 100 per cent, of patients within East Kent Coastal PCT are able to be offered an appointment
with a primary care professional within two working days.
In the South Thanet local authority (LA) area, death rates from cancer per 100,000 population have fallen from 214.2 in 1997 to
210.1 in 2003. In the Dover local authority area, death rates from cancer per 100,000 have fallen from 204.1 in 1997 to 198.1 in
2003.
In the South Thanet LA area, death rates from coronary heart disease per 100,000 population have fallen from 149.3 in 1997 to 122.5
in 2003. In the Dover LA area, death rates from coronary heart disease per 100,000 population have fallen from 149.8 in 1997 to
122.5 in 2003.
East Kent Coastal PCT has received an allocation of £256.5 million in 2004-05. In the recently announced PCT allocations for
2006-07 and 2007-08, East Kent Coastal PCT will receive an increase of £27.4 million in 2006-07 and 32.1 million in
2007-08. This is a total increase of 18.7 per cent. over the two years. By 2007-08, East Kent Coastal PCT will receive an
allocation of £362.5 million.
