Incidents of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in my three local hospitals have drastically reduced in the last few months, but will the Secretary of State look at the methodology currently used for determining incidents of MRSA in hospitals? In Barnsley, we had an incident where a patient had an infection after his pacemaker had been fitted in an independent treatment centre. Because it took some time to discover how he had been infected in the hospital, the infection was counted as three separate incidents of MRSA for that same patient. That seems a bit unfair to me, so will my right hon. Friend look into that?

My hon. Friend is right to point to the 65 per cent. reduction in MRSA against the baseline of 2003-04, and there has been a 47 per cent. reduction in cases of clostridium difficile compared with the same quarter last year. He raises an important point, and one case of MRSA, clostridium difficile or any hospital-acquired infection is one case too many. We must consider sensible points such as his to see whether we can eradicate another source of health care-acquired infection.

Jeff Ennis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to focus the drugs strategy on class A drugs.
[38907]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: The main focus of the Government's drug strategy is on the drugs that cause the greatest harm, Class A drugs like
heroin and cocaine. However, as my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary indicated in his evidence to the Home Affairs Select
Committee on 23 October 2001 we need to be even more effective at tackling the harm caused by Class A drugs. That is why he has
sought advice from the Advisory Council on the misuse of Drugs on their assessment reclassifying cannabis from Class B to Class C;
we launched an action plan to reduce drug-related deaths; we launched a campaign to raise the awareness of the risks of drugs and to
encourage young people, their parents or carers to call the National Drugs Helpline on 0800 776 600; we set up an expert group to
consider best practice guidance on the treatment of Crack Cocaine addiction; we are reviewing guidance on heroin prescribing; and
also in conjunction with the Department of Health we are implementing a further series of measures to minimise the harm drugs cause.
We are also reviewing programmes against all Drugs Strategy Targets as part of the work for the Spending Review 2002, to ensure we
still have the right balance and focus.

Mr. Ennis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of people driving under the influence of drugs have
been reported by South Yorkshire Police in each of the last five years. [42656]
Mr. Michael: The information requested is not available centrally.
There is no information collected centrally that distinguishes between driving under the influence of drugs and driving under the
influence of alcohol.
The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions have in the past produced an estimate of the number of drug/driving
cases based on information supplied by the Forensic Science Service, but this does not enable a police force breakdown to be made.
Neither do South Yorkshire police themselves have any local information.
