Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of (a) primary care and (b) hospital trusts have implemented electronic patient record systems. [47000] Ms Blears: Currently 98 per cent. of general practitioners' practices are computerised and linked to a national electronic network to support email communications and web browsing. Most of them operate clinical systems as part of their practice computerisation and an electronic patient record (EPR) will be part of the system. The level of detail and functionality varies significantly from practice to practice. In the majority of cases at present it will cover the electronic storage of basic patient and administrative details, medication and recent consultations with the GP. At present six trusts have complete hospital wide EPR systems that meet the functionality described under level 3. However many more have some applications in place, for example results reporting and order communications. In addition some trusts have chosen to implement elements of EPR beyond level 3 with functionality around decision support and knowledge management or picture archiving and communications systems to support improved patient care. That is why we are taking action by introducing a new national programme and implementation plan for information technology (IT) in the National Health Service. This will significantly step up the pace of getting modern IT in place to support frontline patient care and also ensure that IT both drives change and gets the best from the extra resources the NHS is now getting. The key points from the programme are: a new national IT programme director who will be responsible for the implementation of this programme; stringent national standards for data and IT in the NHS; an improved partnership with the IT industry and healthcare IT suppliers to increase the IT capacity for the NHS; a new procurement strategy to accelerate the impact of IT across the NHS better central management which will include a ministerial taskforce chaired by my noble Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary, The Lord Hunt of Kingsheath, to ensure the advice and involvement of key healthcare professional and representative groups. The intention has always been to have a first generation of electronic records in use across the NHS from 2005. This will be the starting point from which the NHS can begin to apply the electronic record as a clinical tool in diagnosis, treatment, interventions and healthcare. By 2008, as indicated in "Delivering the NHS Plan", we will expect to see all the advanced applications and functionality of electronic patient records in all primary care trusts and trusts.

Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many English NHS patients were treated in Scotland in each of the last five years. [24572] Mr. Hutton: Information on English residents treated in Scotland is collected by the information and statistics division of National Health Service Scotland. Information on the number of English residents receiving treatment in NHS hospitals in Scotland as either outpatients or as inpatients and day cases is shown in the table. Information on English residents treated in a primary care setting in Scotland is limited. Over the past five years, on average, there have been around 2,200 patients who reside in England on the lists of Scottish general practitioners. These patients may or may not have attended their GP for a consultation in that time. The average number of face to face consultations per head of population per annum in Scotland is 3.2. English residents{ 1} treated in NHS hospitals in Scotland _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Information on return outpatient appointments is not collected centrally by area of residence. {3} Discharges from acute specialties (SMR01), maternity specialties (SMR02), mental health specialties (SMR04), neonatal care for sick babies (SMR11) and long stay facilities in the specialty of geriatric medicine (SMR50). The majority (92 per cent.) of discharges are from acute specialties. {4} All information shown is based on "episodes" of care rather than individual patients. A patient with more than one episode of care in any year or across years will be counted every time they receive an episode of care. {5} Records held centrally at 20 December 2001. It is estimated that available figures for year ending March 2002 represent approximately 60 per cent. of total activity for the year.
