Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many disability benefit claimants there are in (a) the United Kingdom and (b) the constituency of Gordon; and how many disability benefit claimants will be liable to attend work-focused interviews as a result of the Social Security (Jobcentre Plus Interviews) Regulations 2001 in (a) the United Kingdom and (b) the constituency of Gordon. [11496] Mr. Nicholas Brown: Jobcentre Plus will ensure that for the first time there is a single gateway to the benefit system for people of working age. We want to make sure that everyone of working age has the opportunity to find out what support is available to help them to work. At the same time, this gives us the opportunity to get more help to people who cannot work. National roll out of Jobcentre Plus will start next year. At present, only people of working age living within areas that are served by Jobcentre Plus pathfinders or work-focused interview sites making new or repeat claims will be required to attend a work-focused interview. No such office is currently serving the Gordon constituency. Information on the number of people who have attended interviews since Pathfinder offices were opened on 22 October will be available in December. The number of people of working age claiming benefit on the basis of sickness or disability is in the table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Thousand May 2001 Great Britain 2,984.1 Gordon 2.0 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: 1. Working age is 16-59 for women and 16-64 for men. The table includes people claiming incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance, disability living allowance and income support with the disability premium. 2. Cases are allocated to each Parliamentary Constituency by matching the postcode against the 2000 version 1 of the Postcode Directory and represent Parliamentary Constituency boundaries as at May 1997. 3.

Mr. Doran: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimates he has made of the future numbers of elderly people in (a) Scotland, and (b) Grampian; and what projections he has made of the numbers of elderly people in each case who will require over the next 10 years (i) continuing care in the National Health Service, (ii) long-term residential care and (iii) domiciliary care support services from local authorities, and on what basis he calculated those projections.

Source: Government Actuaries Department in consultation with the Registrar General based on 1996 population projections for Scotland. Assessment of current and future needs for care services for the elderly in their areas is primarily a matter for Health Boards and local authorities. The aim for all groups is to secure the most effective package of health and social care services, both in hospital and the community, that meet the specific needs of individuals and, where appropriate, their carers. The Government's assumption is that the growth in requirement for community services will broadly keep pace with the growth in numbers of older people. The balance between residential and domiciliary care services and between health and social care is best determined locally, to meet the needs of the local population.
