Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, (1) how much the NHS spent on cancer treatment in each year from 2000; and what its planned level of expenditure for 2005 is; [188382] (2) what the average level of expenditure for each patient diagnosed as suffering from cancer was in the last year for which figures are available. [188386] Miss Melanie Johnson: Figures on the amount of money spent on an individual disease are not collectedcentrally. It is very difficult to track spending on a particular programme such as cancer, as patients undergo a number of different diagnostic and treatment episodes during their illness. However, "Securing our Future Health: Taking a Long Term View" published in April 2002 detailed that the National Health Service spends around £2.5 billion a year on cancer services. The national cancer director published a report in May 2003, detailing that, of the funding committed to the NHS cancer plan, an additional £199 million was spent in 2001-02 and 406 million was spent in 2002-03. We will shortly be repeating this tracking investment exercise to check whether spending on cancer services in 2003-04 reached the additional £570 million committed to in the NHS cancer plan. Funding for cancer services in 2005 will be included in baseline money sent to primary care trusts (PCTs). It is for PCTs to decide how to spend that money, based on local circumstances and priorities. From next year, PCTs and strategic health authorities will report within their annual accounts the totality of their expenditure on a programme basis each year. This will include cancer as one of the categories of spend.

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many dentists were accepting national health service patients in (a) Stroud, (b) Gloucestershire and (c) England in (i) 1990, (ii) 1997 and (iii) the last year for which figures are available; [131495] (2) how many dentists in (a) Stroud and (b) Gloucestershire accept (i) national health service patients and (ii) only children as NHS patients; and how many are registered as private practices. [131496] Ms Rosie Winterton: The table shows the number of practices providing general dental services (GDS) in England, Gloucestershire and Cotswold and Vale Primary Care Trust, which covers Stroud, at August 1990, August 1997 and August 2003. These figures exclude salaried dentists working in the general dental service, dentists working in community dental services, personal dental services and hospital dental services and dentists who do no national health service work. Information is not collected centrally on the number of dentists who practice solely privately but it is thought that the number of such dentists is around 2 per cent.

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many dentists have de-listed themselves from taking NHS adult patients by each health authority area, in each of the last six years. [8553] Ms Blears: The table shows the number of the General Dental Service (GDS) dentists in each health authority whose adult registration numbers fell to zero during each of the last five financial years ending in March. The vast majority of these dentists are leavers from the GDS. They will leave for a number of reasons, for example retirement, and some are absent only temporarily. Those people who wish to see an national health service dentist should now be able to do so by contacting NHS Direct.

Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many dentists still take NHS adult patients, broken down by each health authority area. [8552] Ms Blears: Most dentists continue to treat some adults and children on the national health service. Only about 1,000 general dental service (GDS) dentists have no adult registrations at all and a proportion of these are practitioners who specialise in children's work. Most dentists ceasing to have adult patients have left the GDS, frequently because of retirement. The table shows the number of GDS dentists in each health authority that have adult registered patients at the end of June 2001. Dentists working in more than one health authority are counted only once in their main health authority.
