Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services

Lesley Griffiths (Wrexham): How many girls have received the human HPV vaccine in LHB area in Wales since its introduction? (WAQ53186)

The Minister for Health and Social Services (Edwina Hart): The National Public Service presents (NPHS) quarterly data on all childhood immunisations and coverage levels of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will be included in future COVER reports. The HPV programme consists of three vaccinations over a six month period and vaccination of girls aged 12 to 13 years old were administered in Wales during September to November 2008. The NPHS will produce statistics on HPV vaccinations for this cohort up to December in its report expected mid-February.

Vaccinations given in the one-off catch-up campaign for young women born between September 1990 and August 1991 began this month so statistics for this cohort will be reported later.

Questions to the Minister for Heritage

Joyce Watson (Mid and West Wales): How many children and young people in each local authority in Wales have taken part in the Welsh Assembly Government’s free swimming scheme since the scheme was introduced? (WAQ53170)

The Minister for Heritage (Alun Ffred Jones): Details on the number of swims recorded in each local authority in Wales are kept by the Local Authority Data Unit.

These can be viewed at the following website address: http://dissemination.dataunitwales.gov.uk/webview/

For example the report indicates that from 2004/5 to 2007/8 over 2.5 million free swims have been taken place by young people 16 years and under across local authorities in Wales which cover periods ranging from Easter, Whitsun and the Summer.

I will be happy to send you a hard copy of the report.
