§ 16. Mr. Mark FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Health when he will publish the contributions his Department has received in response to the consultations prior to the publication of the new draft Mental Health Bill. [67279]
§ Jacqui SmithThe consultation responses received in respect of the draft Mental Health Bill will be available to the public after the consultation period ends unless respondents ask for confidentiality.
§ 38. Vernon CoakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the(a) causes of and (b) treatment for dementia. [67302]
§ Jacqui SmithThe most common causes of dementia are degeneration of brain nerve cells (Alzheimer's disease) and insufficient blood flow to the brain (vascular dementia).
192WThe National Service Framework for Older People published last year outlines the appropriate components for the treatment and care of people with dementia. It sets standards for the delivery of improved and comprehensive health and social care services to support people with dementia and their carers.
§ Dr. NaysmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how much funding allocated to primary care trusts for mental health services has been ring-fenced. [60567]
§ Jacqui SmithIn 2002–03 £75 million was earmarked for mental health services. The funding is allocated to health authorities (HAs), which then allocate funding to primary care trusts (PCTs), on the basis of the relative needs of their populations. HAs were instructed to allocate earmarked funding to PCTs on the same basis as allocations were made to HA. PCTs share of the earmarked funding for mental health is shown in the table. Special consideration will need to be given to improving access to mental health services through crisis resolution, assertive outreach and early intervention teams; increasing capacity and improving service quality.

§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he plans to take steps to collect centrally information on(a) the proportion of individuals with a diagnosis of severe mental illness who are in employment and (b) trends in the prevalence of employment among such individuals. [68126]
§ Jacqui Smith[holding answer 11 July 2002]The Department is taking steps to ensure that this information is collected for both local and national monitoring. Local services have been asked to ensure that written care plans for people with mental health problems on the enhanced level of the care programme approach show plans to secure suitable employment or other occupational activity. The outcomes implementation programme and the implementation of the mental health minimum data set will ensure that these data are collected routinely.
§ Mr. HealdTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of community mental health teams are fully integrated as between NHS and social services. [68128]
§ Jacqui Smith[holding answer 11 July 2002]The information requested is not collected centrally.

§ Mrs. Helen ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment he has made of the impact on black and ethnic minority groups of the proposals contained in the draft Mental Health Bill. [68665]
§ Jacqui SmithThe Government acknowledge the inequalities that people from black and minority ethnic groups face in mental health services and the over-representation, in particular, of young black men in the mental health system has been well documented (Mental Health Act Commission Biennial Report 2001). The mental health task force has been given a specific remit to look at black and ethnic mental health and are developing a strategy that will address the provision of services to people from these groups, while the proposals contained in the draft Mental Health Bill will offer individuals greater safeguards of their rights.
§ Dr. NaysmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the effect he estimates extending compulsion, as envisaged in the draft Mental Health Bill, will have on average waiting times for treatment. [68252]
§ Jacqui SmithWe anticipate that the impact on waiting times for urgent treatment will be minimal. The implementation of the "national service framework for mental health", and the development of new services such as assertive outreach, crisis resolution and early intervention, will help to ensure that fewer people become so ill that they need compulsory treatment.
