Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what independent evaluation has been made of the work of health action zones. [37382]

Ms Blears

The national independent evaluation of health action zones (HAZ) is due to be completed by December 2002 and is being conducted by a consortium led by Professor Ken Judge of the University of Glasgow. In addition, each HAZ is carrying out a local evaluation. Some reports have already been published and are available locally and at www.Haznet.org.uk.
