Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many planning applications for new single rural dwellings in the Ards peninsula (a) there were in the 12 months prior to the introduction of planning policy statement 14 (PPS14) and (b) there have been since PPS14 was introduced. [93301]
David Cairns: In the 12 months prior to the publication of PPS14, in the Ards borough council area, 115 planning applications were received for new single rural dwellings. 37 planning applications have been received since its publication.
Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many new single rural dwellings received planning permission in the Ards peninsula in the last five years; and what estimate he has made of how many of these would have been granted using planning policy statement 14 had it been in place. [93302]
David Cairns: The latest available figures show thata total of 729 single rural dwellings have received planning permission in the Ards borough council area in the period January 1999 to the beginning of August 2005.
No estimate has been made as to how many of these would have been granted planning permission using planning policy statement 14 had it been in place since to do so would involve re-assessing each individual planning application.
Plastic Surgery
Mrs. Iris Robinson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many people are waiting for (a) plastic surgery in-patient admission and (b) initial
plastic surgery out-patient assessment in each health trust area in the Province; [99310]
(2) what the (a) average and (b) longest waiting time is for plastic surgery in-patient admission in each health trust area in the Province; [99311]
(3) what the (a) average and (b) longest waiting time is for initial plastic surgery out-patient assessment in each health trust area in the Province. [99312]
Paul Goggins: The (i) total number of people waiting for (a) plastic surgery in-patient admission and (b) initial plastic surgery out-patient assessment (first out-patient appointment) for each applicable health trust at 30 June 2006 is shown in the following table:
| Patients waiting for plastic surgery at 30 June 2006 | ||
| Total waiting for plastic surgery | ||
| HSS trust | (a) In-patient admission | (b) Out-patient appointment |
| Source: Departmental Information returns CH1 and CH3 | ||
Waiting list information is collected by time band. It is therefore not possible to calculate the arithmetic mean (average) and longest time waiting for plastic surgery in-patient admission or for initial plastic surgery outpatient assessment (first out-patient appointment). It is however possible to identify the median or mid point and longest waiting time band for both inpatient admission and first out-patient appointment in each applicable health trust area in the Province.
