Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many and what proportion of patients at York Hospital were unable to get (a) an MRI scan, (b) a CT scan and (c) another diagnostic test carried out within the six week timescale specified in the NHS Constitution in 2009-10 and each year since then.
Answered by Jane Ellison
This information is not available in the format requested. Tables showing monthly data from April 2009 to April 2014 have been placed in the Library. These are waiting list figures and show the number of patients waiting at month end. Therefore, these cannot be added to obtain an annual figure as the same patient could potentially appear in several consecutive months.

Notes:
1. General dental services cannot be separately identified in the published figures. The total gross expenditure for general dental service and personal dental service contracts is categorised between either independent contractor led contracts or on salaried led services provided by the PCT.
2. Contractor led contracts are all primary care dental services commissioned from practitioners or corporate bodies where payments are processed on the PCT's behalf by the Dental Services division of the NHS Business Services Authority. Salaried led services include the cost of any dental or support staff directly employed by the PCT and personal dental services or PCT dental services that are directly managed by PCTs or commissioned from other National Health Service trusts either within or outside their area.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average gross earnings of a full-time equivalent NHS nurse were in (a) cash and (b) real terms in (i) England and (ii) York in 1996-97 and in each year since.
Answered by Dan Poulter
The primary source of National Health Service earnings data is published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.

For reference a comparison of basic pay per headcount, which has not specifically been requested, is provided.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the starting salary of a full-time equivalent NHS nurse in York was in (a) cash and (b) real terms in 1996-97 and in each year since.
Answered by Dan Poulter
Since the introduction of Agenda for Change in October 2004, nurses who are newly qualified start at Agenda for Change Band 5. Prior to Agenda for Change they started at Whitley Grade D. National salary scales apply for NHS nurses in York. The starting salary for a full-time equivalent NHS nurse in cash and real terms is shown in the following table.
Year | Cash Terms Starting Salary (£) (Full Time) (National Scale) | Real Terms Starting Salary (£) (Full Time) (National Scale) |
1996-97 | 11,895 | 17,254 |
1997-98 | 12,385 | 17,646 |
1998-99 | 12,855 | 17,972 |

Notes:
1. Starting pay for a newly qualified nurse is normally the minimum of the scale applicable to basic grade qualified nurses as follows:
1996-97 to 2003-04: Whitley D Grade
2004-05 o 2013-14: Agenda for Change Band 5
2. Starting pay is taken from national pay scales.
3. Figures given include any staged increases in the year in question.
4. The starting pay given for 2004-05 is the minimum of the Agenda for Change Band 5 scale at the effective date of implementation of Agenda for Change on 1 October 2004.
5. The 2014-15 starting salary change is due to an adjustment to ensure all staff on Spine Point 15 eligible for incremental progression received at least 1% when progressing to Spine Point 16, which is also the current starting Spine Point for a newly qualified nurse.
6. The cash terms data has been converted into real terms using the latest official Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator series taken from the HM Treasury website on 30 June 2014 and last updated on 20 December 2013.
7. It is not possible to convert the 2014-15 cash starting salary to real terms because of the way the GDP deflator series operates.
8. To be as up to date as possible, the real terms data is presented in 2013-14 prices. This involves using the HM Treasury forecast GDP deflator value for 2013-14.
