Mr. Sarwar: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the number of patients with multiple sclerosis in each
health board area who would benefit from the provision of beta-interferon in Scotland. [80010]
Mr. Galbraith: It is not possible to estimate the number of patients with multiple sclerosis in each Health Board who would benefit
from the provision of Beta-Interferon.
By no means all patients with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis benefit from the use of this drug and decisions as to individual
patients' eligibility for this treatment depend on the clinical judgment of the medical practitioners concerned.
From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.

currently waiting for an appointment with a consultant following referral by a general practitioner; if he will provide a breakdown

Mr. Galbraith: [holding answer 5 March 1999]:
Waiting lists information is collected centrally only for hospital inpatients and day cases. Data are available on first outpatient
referrals and the length of time that patients waited for their first outpatient appointment. The percentage of patients who
received a first outpatient appointment within 9 and 18 weeks following a General Medical Practitioner referral at 31 December 1998

Information on waiting times for individual consultants within specialties is not collected centrally. Health Boards provide this

Mr. Galbraith: The World Health Organisation (WHO) does not make specific recommendations about rates of caesarean delivery which
will inevitably vary from place to place and will reflect the health and nutritional status of pregnant women and the level of
maternity care provision. The rate of caesarean section for each Health Board in Scotland is as follows:

Dr. Moonie: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on the Scottish Law
Commission's Incapable Adults report (Scots Law Com. No. 151). [64388]
Mr. McLeish: The subject of decision-making on behalf of adults who are unable to manage their own affairs is an important one. The
Government have been made fully aware of the issues through the report by the Scottish Law Commission in 1995 and subsequent public
consultation, which attracted a substantial and carefully considered response. We accept the need for reform of the existing
legislation in this important area of the law that provides support and protection for some of the most vulnerable people in
society.
It will be within the competence of the Scottish Parliament to legislate in this area and this statement cannot pre-empt
announcements about the Scottish Parliament's legislative programme. It excludes consideration of the SLC's recommendations about
medical treatment and research and advance statements. These are sensitive issues and we received many responses on them in the
consultation exercise. We have not made any decisions on these matters yet; and we shall also want to consider what emerges from the
Lord Chancellor's recent consultation exercise on similar proposals for England and Wales.
We agree with the general principles proposed by the SLC that any intervention should produce a benefit for the adult; be least
restrictive of the adult's freedom; wherever possible encourage the adult to use existing skills and acquire new skills, and take
account of the present and past wishes of the adult.
In relation to particular aspects of the Report we agree with the SLC on the following:
The proposed definition of mental incapacity;
The current office of the Accountant of Court should be expanded to form a new office of Public Guardian;
The function of the Public Guardian should be to maintain public registers of all those authorised to take decisions on behalf of an
incapable adult and to supervise and monitor the performance of financial guardians;
The recognition of continuing and welfare powers of attorney and the introduction of public scrutiny of the exercise of such powers;
The creation of a new concept of guardianship to provide for a broad and flexible system of one-off intervention orders and longer
term guardianship, with appropriate welfare or financial powers as ordered by the court; and
That key decisions on applications, and in other proceedings under the proposed legislation, should be dealt with in the sheriff
courts.
There are a small number of areas where we propose to vary the SLC's recommendations.
We propose to modify the SLC scheme for carers in domestic settings to have access to funds from the bank accounts of incapable
adults, in order to meet daily living expenses. Under the revised scheme, the Public Guardian would grant authority to have
stipulated payments made for a time limited period from the incapable adult's account to a designated account. The Public Guardian
would have powers to check that the incapable adult's funds were being applied for the intended purpose.
We propose to modify the SLC recommendations that residential homes should apply to the Public Guardian for authority to manage
residents' finances. Under the revised proposals, registration and inspection authorities in local authorities and Health Boards
would authorise the managers of residential establishments to manage the funds of residents who are incapable of so doing, up to
prescribed limits, and in circumstances where no other arrangements would be appropriate for managing the finances of these
residents.
We do not propose to follow the SLC recommendation that the Public Guardian should be able to be appointed as financial guardian to
an incapable adult. We take the view, however, that the arrangements recommended for withdrawals from bank accounts and for
intervention orders, and also for management of finances by residential establishments, should be sufficient to meet the needs of
incapable adults with modest estates. The Public Guardian's functions will be focused on maintaining public registers of guardians
and monitoring and supervising guardians with financial powers. Local authorities and the Mental Welfare Commission will monitor
those exercising welfare powers on behalf of incapable adults.

Mr. Swayne: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the cost of treatments for Aids-related
conditions over the next financial year. [62529]
Mr. Galbraith: Health Boards in Scotland are expected to meet the cost of such treatments from within the general allocations of
funds provided to them each year. In order to assist Boards in planning services for HIV/AIDS patients, my right hon. Friend the
Secretary of State recently set up an expert group to recommend treatment protocols and to estimate the numbers of HIV/AIDS patients
likely to be eligible for treatment with the new anti-retroviral drugs in the next few years. The group's report should be available
shortly.

Mr. David Stewart: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the projected cost to the National Health Service
in Scotland of extending prescription charge exemptions to include those recovering from cancer. [56165]
Mr. Galbraith: It is not possible to identify separately the cost of items prescribed and dispensed for those people recovering from
cancer. The NHS prescription form does not record the medical diagnosis for which a drug has been prescribed.
