Mrs. Calton: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many pregnancies in females under the age of 20 there were in each year since 1986 per 100,000 population. [141995] Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply. Letter from Len Cook to Mrs. Patsy Calton, dated 8 December 2003: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many pregnancies in females under the age of 20 there were in each year since 1986 per 100,000 population. (141995) Prior to 1987, the method used for calculating mother's age at conception was not comparable to that used in later years. The data shown in the attached table are for 1987 to 2001, the latest year available. Please note that these data only cover conceptions that led to a maternity (i.e a live or still birth). Conceptions which resulted in miscarriage or termination are not included. Conceptions leading to maternities (numbers and rates), 1987-2001--England and Wales.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the proportion of children and teenagers who smoke. [121353] Miss Melanie Johnson: The 1998 White Paper "Smoking Kills" set a target to reduce smoking among 11 to 15-year-olds from 13 per cent. in 1996 to 9 per cent. by 2010 with a fall to 11 per cent. by 2005. Among 11 to 15-year-olds, smoking prevalence has remained unchanged since 2000 at ten per cent. and we are on course to meet our target for reducing smoking. The information requested is shown in the tables.

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to ensure that mainstream programmes and targeted initiatives have (a) a focus on disabled children and young people and (b) targets and indicators monitored as part of Opportunities for All. [96311] Jacqui Smith: All relevant mainstream health and social care programmes give priority to disabled children. In 1999 the Government published national objectives for children's social services, as part of the Quality Protects programme to improve children's services. This included specific objectives around disabled children and young people. To help local authorities achieve these objectives, we have earmarked funding for disabled children of £60 million over three years from the children's services special grant. As part of the development of the children's national service framework, which will set national standards for health and social care, we have prioritised services for disabled children and young people. An external working group has been established to focus on services for disabled children and make recommendations to Ministers on how they could be improved. The three cross Government programmes for children: Sure Start; the Children's Fund; and Connexions all give priority to supporting disabled children and young people. The indicators in "Opportunity for all" are used to monitor progress in relation to the Government's strategy to tackle poverty and social exclusion. They have been selected to capture the multidimensional nature of poverty and to utilise the best available information. The indicators meet certain criteria, one of which is to be outcome focused rather than concentrating of inputs and process. All of the indicators are linked to departmental public service agreement targets, which are reviewed as part of spending review cycles.
