Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the mortality rate in (a) England and (b) Greater Manchester caused by long-term exposure to particulate air pollution arising from human activities.
Answered by David Mowat
The fraction of annual all-cause adult mortality attributable to anthropogenic (human-made) particulate air pollution (measured as fine particulate matter, PM2.5*) is provided by the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) indicator 3.01.
This calculates the mortality burden associated with long-term exposure to anthropogenic particulate air pollution at current levels, expressed as the percentage of annual deaths from all causes in those aged 30+.
In formation on presents the fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution extracted from the PHOF 3.01 indicator, for the period 2010-14, for England, North West and Areas within the Greater Manchester Area (as GMA is not an Administrative Area) is available at:

"The Secretary of State is trying to blame hospitals for the deficit, but the point is that the spend on agency staff has ballooned in England over the past six years.

Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many student nurses in (a) Greater Manchester and (b) England received NHS bursaries in each of the last five years.
Answered by Philip Dunne
The following table shows the total number of student nurses in receipt of a National Health Service bursary in Greater Manchester and in England from 2012 to 2015.
| Academic Year |
2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 |
Number of student nurses in Greater Manchester | 3,343 | 2,975 | 3,284 | 3,577 |
Number of student nurses in England | 40,951 | 38,490 | 40,961 | 43,470 |
Source: NHS Business Services Authority
The NHS bursary application window for the 2016 academic year is still open and therefore figures are not yet available.
The figures are based on the postcode of the student at the time of their application. These also include students who are in receipt of a monthly bursary and those who receive tuition fees only and no annual payment for day to day living costs (either because they have chosen not to declare income or because of income assessment).
