NHS: Attacks on Staff

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. It is very important that National Health Service staff should not feel threatened. What has been the increase in prosecutions? In the past, the Royal College of Nursing has reported 116,000 violent incidents, of which less than 44 per cent were in mental hospitals. Although we expect a slightly higher incidence there, the majority did not occur there. Of that total, only 2 per cent of cases were prosecuted. Eighty per cent of cases were not followed up at all and only 2 per cent were prosecuted. Can the Minister explain more about the new body to which he has just referred; that is, the security management service? According to nurses, it is part of the Counter Fraud and Security Management Service. Is that a National Health Service body or is it a Home Office body?

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what training the staff of the Counter Fraud and Security Management Service who are directly involved in investigation receive; and what plans he has to change their training. [216138] Ms Rosie Winterton: The national health service counter fraud and security management service (CFSMS) provides training for all staff who counter fraud and corruption within the NHS. It is mandatory for all NHS counter fraud specialists to successfully complete a counter fraud foundation level course. This high quality professional training has been accredited by the universities of Portsmouth, East London and Wolverhampton and is worth 40 higher education credits. Successful completion of the foundation level leads to the nationally recognised professional qualification of accredited counter fraud specialist (ACFS). The NHS is one of a number of organisations where staff are trained to this standard. At the end of 2004, there were 8,274 qualified ACFSs from hundreds of organisations in both the public and private sectors including six Government Departments, such as the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Government agencies such as the Audit Commission, several police forces, banks, investment companies and over 300 local authorities. Further training includes an intermediate level course, which focuses on prevention and deterrence of fraud. Additionally, the CFSMS provides refresher training on issues such as interviewing skills and regularly updates training where there are changes in law or procedures that have an impact on work to counter fraud. Throughout the year, the CFSMS ensures ongoing support and training for staff through quarterly forums and an annual conference. There is also assistance through a training centre helpline and a regional network. Because the training attracts higher education credits, it can lead on to further academic study and the CFSMS supports staff who want to continue to develop and work towards a BSc. (Hons) in counter fraud and criminal justice studies. At present there are no plans to change the training. It is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is relevant and meets the requirements of staff.

[216141] Ms Rosie Winterton: The national health service counter fraud and security management service has published its performance statistics annually since 1999-2000. The financial benefit to the NHS per year is shown in the following table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) whether the proposals to strengthen the powers of the Counter Fraud and Security Management Service announced by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State on 21 October 2004 will require primary legislation; and when he expects to publish the outcome of the consultation process on the proposals; [216183] (2) what powers the Counter Fraud and Security Management Service has to access personal information; and what powers he expects the service will have following the proposed changes announced by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State on 21 October 2004. [216184] Ms Rosie Winterton: Responses to the consultation document Access to Relevant Documents, Records and Data to Counter Fraud are currently being analysed. In accordance with the Cabinet Office Code of Practice on Consultations a summary of responses will be published within three months of the consultation closing date of 21 January 2005. At this stage, it is too early to say what shape any future measures may take but they will be informed by the outcome of the consultation exercise. The NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service (CFSMS) do not currently have any specific powers to require access to personal information. Under the NHS Act 1977 the Secretary of State for Health has directed national health service bodies to co-operate with the CFSMS to enable it to efficiently and effectively carry out its counter fraud functions. This includes the supply of information to the CFSMS unless the supply of such information is prohibited by law.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) under what circumstances members of the NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service will be able to procure patient records from general practitioners without consent; [198002] (2) what penalties may be used against general practitioners who refuse to release patient records to members of the NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service. [198003] Mr. Hutton: The national health service Counter Fraud and Security Management Service (CFSMS) does not have any specific powers to require general practitioners to produce patient records or to impose penalties where records are not produced. The remit of the CFSMS is to bring fraud and corruption in the NHS down to an absolute minimum. Its primary interest is not, therefore, in patient records. On some occasions, however, records may be requested where they are needed for the thorough investigation of allegations of fraud or corruption. On 21 October my noble Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health (Lord Warner) launched a consultation on proposals to introduce new powers which would allow NHS counter fraud specialists access to relevant documents, records and data where investigations require this. Such access would be strictly controlled and on the occasions where access is needed, we are seeking views on whether such records should be viewed by a clinical specialist who would accompany the NHS counter fraud specialist. The consultation on these proposals finishes on 21 January 2005 and we welcome all views on this issue. It is too early to say what shape any future measures may take but they will be informed by the outcome of the consultation exercise.
