Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many MRSA infections there were in the Royal Shrewsbury hospital in each year since 1997. [223179] Dr. Ladyman: The information is not available in the format requested. The Royal Shrewsbury hospital was a separate acute trust until October 2003, when it merged with the Princess Royal hospital to form the Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals national health service trust. From October 2003 onward, data for the Royal Shrewsbury hospital alone is not available. The mandatory surveillance system which collects data on methicillin resistant "Staphylococcus aureus" (MRSA) bloodstream infections commenced in April 2001 and gives data by NHS trust only and not hospital. The table shows relevant data for the years 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04 and the first six months of the reporting year 2004-05. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of adults were registered with a NHS dentist in Shrewsbury and Atcham in each year since 1997. [223178] Ms Rosie Winterton: The Department does not have population figures pre-2001 for Shropshire County Primary Care Trust (PCT). The table shows the percentage of adults who were registered with a national health service dentist in the Shropshire county PCT area in each year since 1997. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Adult registrations Adult population Percentage registered 1997 100,786 218,150 46.20 1998 82,470 219,500 37.57 1999 77,586 220,500 35.19 2000 75,689 221,600 34.16 2001 74,104 222,264 33.34 2002 75,403 224,259 33.62 2003 71,094 225,611 31.51 2004 71,785 226,100 31.75 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The drop in registrations between September 1997 and September 1998 is mostly attributable to the reduction in the re-registration period from two years to 15 months. The figures exclude patients treated in dental access centres (DACs) who are not registered. In 2004, there were some 375,000 episodes of treatment in the 48 DACs then in operation in England.

Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many homeless families there were in Shrewsbury and Atcham in each year since 1997. [223147] Yvette Cooper: Information about local authorities' actions under homelessness legislation is collected quarterly and is in respect of households rather than families. The number of households accepted as eligible for assistance, unintentionally homeless and in priority need and the number of households in temporary accommodation arranged by local authorities under homelessness legislation as at 31 March of each year in Shrewsbury and Atcham, since 1997, is tabled as follows. Also shown is the number of acceptances, and those in temporary accommodation, as a percentage of all households in Shrewsbury and Atcham. After being accepted as homeless, a household will be placed in some form of accommodation. They may be placed in temporary accommodation, until a settled solution becomes available, or they may be given a settled solution straight away depending on the accommodation available to the local authority. As an alternative to temporary accommodation an authority may arrange for a household to remain in their current accommodation (homeless at home), until a settled solution becomes available.

Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many farmers there were in Shrewsbury and Atcham in each year since 1997. [223152] Alun Michael: The following figures show the number of farmers, partners, directors and spouses on holdings in the Shrewsbury and Atcham local authority area. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Notes: 1. Figures prior to 2000 show main holdings only. From 2000 minor holdings are included. A holding is defined as a minor if it meets all of the following conditions: the total area is less than 6 hectares the labour requirement is estimated to be less than 100 standard person-days there is no regular full-time farmer or worker the glasshouse area is less than 100 sq m the occupier does not farm another holding. 2. Due to the introduction of new questions in 1998 figures prior to this year are not directly comparable with earlier years' results. 3. Due to a register improvement exercise in 2001 labour figures prior to this are not directly comparable with later results. Source: June Agricultural Census

Mr. Paul Marsden: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will list gluten-free products available on an NHS prescription for patients who are intolerant of gluten; [222840] (2) what guidance on gluten-free diets is made available by his Department to general practitioners; [222841] (3) what information is provided to patients by the NHS on (a) symptoms, (b) treatment and (c) dietary recommendations for people with gluten intolerance; [222842] (4) how many people (a) were estimated to have and (b) had been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance on the latest date for which figures are available. [222843] Dr. Ladyman: The data on numbers diagnosed with coeliac disease are not available. Coeliac UK estimates that the average incidence in the United Kingdom is one in a hundred. Advice on food intolerance, including advice on how to avoid certain ingredients when shopping for food or eating out, is available on the Food Standards Agency's website at www.food.gov.uk and also at its consumer advice and information website at www.eatwell.gov.uk. We have no specific plans to raise awareness of the condition among the medical profession. The Department is not responsible for setting curriculum's for general practitioners; that is rightly the responsibility of the statutory and professional bodies. However, we do share a commitment with those bodies that all general practitioners are trained so that they have the skills and knowledge to deliver a high quality health service to all groups of the population with whom they deal. All the gluten free products available on national health service prescription on the recommendation of the advisory committee on borderline substances are listed in Part XV of the Drug Tariff, which is published monthly by The Stationery Office, a copy of which is available in the Library.

These estimates from the Labour Force Survey are, as with any sample survey, subject to sampling variability. ONS also compiles statistics of those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (ISA) for local areas including Parliamentary Constituencies. Table 2 gives the annual average number of JSA claimants, the total claiming for over 12 months and those aged 18 to 24 years claiming Jobseeker's Allowance benefits resident in the Shrewsbury and Atcham Parliamentary Constituency for each year since 2001.
