To ask the Scottish Executive what the conclusion was of the scoping exercise on morbidity and the implications of living with cancer for patients and services, announced by the Minister for Health and Community Care on 4 September 2003.

A review of levels of morbidityassociated with cancer treatment is underway by the Cancer Care Research Centre,University of Stirling in collaboration with the Information Services Division,National Services Scotland. This will not estimate how many cancer patients receivecare at home, the number of carers supporting cancer patients remaining at homerequiring support themselves, nor the financial costs faced by cancer patients asa result of their treatment and care.
It is anticipated that the reviewwill be completed by early 2006.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether NHS board action plans produced in line with the findings of the fatal accident inquiry about the death of my constituent, James Mauchland, will be publicly available.
Answer
Individual NHS boards are responsible for determining arrangements for publicising these or any other service planning documents. Most such documents are now also likely to be available under the Freedom of Information Act.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will ensure that any good practice guidance arising from the evaluation of NHS board action plans produced in line with the findings of the fatal accident inquiry into the death of James Mauchland is disseminated across all NHS boards and that appropriate training will be in place.
Answer
The Scottish Executive Health Department has asked NHS board chief executives to report on progress in addressing matters arising from the fatal accident inquiry and inviting them to highlight examples of good practice. The department will be working with the Scottish Consortium for Learning Disability and ENABLE to arrange a seminar later this year to consider and share these examples. NHS Quality Improvement Scotland also plans to develop a good practice statement on access to generic services for people with learning disabilities. This will support the quality indicator framework for these services that it has already developed.
