Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the NHS trusts which have yet fully to eliminate Nightingale wards. [130324]

Mr. Hutton

The elimination of Nightingale wards for older people has been included in the planning and priorities framework 2003–06 as one of the Department's key investment priorities. A target has been set for the elimination of Nightingale wards for older people by April 2004. A report will be made at that time.
