*In 2006 Argyll and Clyde Health Board was dissolved.

**This figure includes the Clyde area which joined Greater Glasgow to become NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

***This figure for NHS Highland also includes the Argyll and Bute area of the former, Argyll and Clyde Health Board.

91.4% of eligible girls in year S2 received the full three dose course of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination in the first year of the programme in 2008-09. This is broken down by NHS board in table one. These uptake rates are based on immunisations recorded on the CHSP School system and SIRS as at 15 February 2010 and is based on girls recorded as being in class year S2 as at 11 May 2009, these girls were around 12 to 13 years of age at the time of vaccination (thus will be around 13 to 14 years of age this year)

Notes:

1. NHS Lanarkshire is delivering the HPV programme to schools in Cambuslang and Rutherglen, however HPV data for Cambuslang and Rutherglen are recorded/shown under NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde on CHSP School.

2. All NHS boards except NHS Orkney use CHSP School/SIRS to record HPV immunisations. NHS Orkney have provided their own figures.

3. NHS Argyll and Clyde ceased to exist on 31 March 2006 and the administration was split between two sub-areas that now fall under the administration of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Highland respectively. For the calculation of uptake rates, HPV immunisation data recorded on CHSP School under the former NHS Argyll and Clyde are allocated to their current NHS board area using GP practice code. There are a small number of records which do not have a practice code recorded and therefore for statistical purposes, NHS board is unknown. These records are included in the Scotland cohort and uptake rates and therefore the sum of the cohorts for all NHS boards does not equate to the total cohort for Scotland.

The information is not held centrally.

NHS Workforce data is published by National Services Scotland, Information Services Division (ISD) Scotland annually. The number of physiotherapists and allied health professions employed by NHS board at 30 September for the years 2007 to 2009 is available at:

The Scottish Government provides funding to Road Safety Scotland (RSS) for the development of road safety education resources for schools. RSS are currently finalising the development of a new early years resource details of which will be provided to all schools in Scotland for the start of the new school term in August 2010. Current RSS education resources can be viewed at Annex C of Scotland''s Road Safety Framework to 2020, which was published in June 2009, and on the RSS website.

I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-26533 on 14 September 2009. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament''s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/Apps2/Business/PQA/Default.aspx.

Prior to the introduction of New Ways of Defining and Measuring Waiting Times, did not attend (DNA) information was only available for first outpatient appointments. DNA information is now being published from the New Ways dataset for both first outpatient appointments and inpatient and day case treatment. The first published information was for the quarter ending 30 September 2009.

Information from New Ways shows that for the nine month period 1 July 2009 to 31 March 2010, there were 110,149 missed first outpatient appointments at a consultant-led clinic “ a DNA rate of 9.6%. For the same period, there were 9,541 missed appointments for inpatient and day case treatment “ a DNA rate of 2.7%. The estimated cost of a DNA at an outpatient clinic is £110. It is not possible to estimate the average cost for inpatient and day case treatment due to the wide variation in the cost between different procedures.

Information on missed appointments in primary care is not available centrally.

For part (a), I refer the member to the answer to question S3W-32405 on 14 April 2010. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament''s website, the search facility for which can be found at:

http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/Apps2/Business/PQA/Default.aspx.

For part (b), deaths from alcoholic liver disease are published each year by the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) in the Vital Events Reference Table 6.4 (or, for 1999 and 2000, Table 6.4 of the Registrar General''s Annual Report):

http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/publications-and-data/vital-events/index.html.

These data are summarised in the following table:

Table 1. Deaths from Alcoholic Liver Disease in Scotland 1999-2008

Year	Deaths
1999	638
2000	779
2001	866
2002	957
2003	976
2004	876
2005	976
2006	1,003
2007	920
2008	936

Source: General Register Office for Scotland. For 1999, data were coded using the International Classification of Disease (ICD-9) codes 571.0 to 571.3. For 2000 onwards ICD-10 code K70 was used.

Patients may be treated for alcohol dependency in various settings and may be seen by their GP, admitted as an inpatient in a general acute hospital, or treated in a psychiatric hospital. For the purpose of this answer, children were defined as patients aged under 16 years.

In both 2007-08 and 2008-09, only a very small number of children were treated for alcohol dependency in general acute and psychiatric hospitals. For disclosure reasons and for reasons of patient confidentiality it is not possible to present these figures.

Information on consultations for alcohol dependence for young people (aged under 16 years) is also available from the Practice Team Information (PTI) scheme. The PTI scheme gathers data on consultations with a sample of Scottish general practices. The PTI scheme data makes use of the sample to estimate the number of consultations for specific conditions. However, the number of contacts where the main reason for consultation was alcohol dependency (excluding excessive use or misuse not associated with dependency) was too small to provide a reliable estimate.
