Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the mandate of the advisory committee on training in nursing is; how many times it has met over the last 12 months; what the UK representation on it is; what the annual cost of its work is to public funds; if he will list the items currently under its consideration; if he will take steps to increase its accountability and transparency to Parliament; and if he will make a statement. [56756] Mr. Hutton: The advisory committee on training in nursing (ACTN) is one of a group of committees set up to advise the European Commission and member states on matters relating to the training of workers whose professions come under sectoral directives guaranteeing free movement and automatic recognition of qualifications. The ACTN was set up by Council Decision 77/454/EEC. Its mandate is set down in Article 2, which states that: 1. The task of the Committee shall be to help ensure a comparably demanding standard in the training of the various categories of nursing personnel throughout the Community. 2. It shall carry out this task, in particular, by the following means: exchange of comprehensive information as to the training methods and the content, level and structure of theoretical and practical courses provided in the member states, discussion and consultation with the object of developing common approaches to the standard to be attained in the training of nursing personnel, and, as appropriate, to the structure and content of such training, keeping under the review the adaption of the above-mentioned training to developments in nursing practice, medical and social science and teaching methods. 3. The Committee shall communicate to the Commission and the Member States its opinions and recommendations including, when it considers it appropriate, suggestions for amendments to be made to the provisions concerning training in the Directives relating to nursing activities as in Directives 77/452 EEC and 77/453/EEC. 4. The Committee shall also advise the Commission on any matter which the Commission may refer to it in relation to the training of nursing personnel. Each advisory committee has three members per member state--one each from the practising profession, the education establishments and the competent authorities concerned. Three alternates are also appointed. Members and alternates are nominated by Ministers following consultation with the relevant professional bodies. Advisory committee expenses fall to be paid by the Commission (or on occasion by the professions concerned). There is thus no direct charge to public funds. Member states are currently considering Commission proposals for streamlining the directives and processes relating to free movement of professionals. None of the advisory committees has met during the last 12 months; and none of them has any items under consideration. In April this year, the issues arising from the Commission's proposals for the future of professional recognition were submitted to the Parliamentary Scrutiny Committees (Explanatory Memorandum No. 7239/02- COM(2002)119final).
