Department of Health's annual returns
§ Mr. BurnsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimates his Department has made of the number of people who have had to sell their homes to pay for long-term care in each of the last five years. [24641]
§ Mr. HuttonThe information requested is not held centrally.
§ Mr. BurnsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average length of time is that an individual stays in(a) a residential care and (b) a nursing home in England. [24639]
§ Jacqui SmithThe information requested is not collected centrally.
§ Tim LoughtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health who drafted the guidance under the Care Standards Act 2000 dealing with accommodation for residents of residential care homes. [24314]
§ Jacqui SmithThe National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Older People and Care Homes for Younger Adults and Adult Placements were drafted by the Department. To aid the drafting of these standards, reference groups were set up which included representatives from the private, public and voluntary sectors, national organisations and service users. Both sets of standards were consulted upon publicly and we have listened to the representations made during consultation and made appropriate changes. No guidance under the Care Standards Act 2000, in relation to the accommodation of service users in care homes, has been drafted.
§ Tim LoughtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many representations he has received from local authority care homes concerning the Care Standards Act 2000; and if he will list them broken down by authority. [24299]
§ Jacqui SmithThe Department does not hold information in the form requested. Representations about the effect of Government policy on local authority run care homes are generally made by local authorities as part of the comments they make in their role as regulators, providers and commissioners of social care. Local authorities have been involved in the development of our modernisation agenda, particularly in the development of national minimum standards where they were one of the groups consulted before and during the various consultation exercises on the national standards. The formal consultation documents were sent to all local authorities.
