HC Deb 24 April 2002 vol 384 cc363-6W
David Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which care homes in the East Riding of Yorkshire do not comply with the new National Care Standards Regulations. [50617]

Jacqui Smith

The degree to which individual care homes conform to the national standards cannot be quantified in detail at the moment. It is for the National Care Standards Commission to decide in the particular circumstances of each individual home whether the home conforms to the standards necessary to meet the assessed needs of its residents.

Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of people likely to require(a) residential care and (b) nursing care in a nursing home in (i) 2005, (ii) 2010, (iii) 2015 and (iv) 2020. [50692]

Jacqui Smith

The personal social services research unit (PSSRU) at the London School of Economics was commissioned by the Department to make projections of future demand for residential and nursing home care for older people. The latest PSSRU projections are:

Residential care Nursing home care
2000 240,000 135,000
2005 245,000 138,300
2010 256,400 145,000
2020 292,300 167,600

These projections take account of demographic pressures but assume no change in patterns of care. The pressures may change as a result of government policies. The PSSRU model does not currently make projections for 2015.

Further information on these projections and the model on which they are based can be found in the recent report by the PSSRU on "Demand for Long Term Care for Older People in England", published in Health Statistics Quarterly 12, winter 2001, a copy of which is in the Library.

David Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list by local authority the cost of administering the registration of care homes in the last 12 months. [41374]

Jacqui Smith

[holding answer 11 March 2002]: Details of the costs of administering the registration of care homes are not available centrally. The table shows gross expenditure by each local authority in England, on all registration and inspection activity (including expenditure on the regulatory function for children under eight, which has now transferred to Ofsted) for 2000–01, which is the latest financial year for which data are available.
