To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to his answer of 26 February 2003, Official Report, column 645W, on public bodies, whether estimates of costing have been undertaken on the reorganisation from the Commission for Health Improvement and the National Care Standards Commission to the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection and the Social Services Inspectorate; and if he will place copies of the estimates in the Library. [113698]

I refer the hon. Member to the explanatory notes in the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill, which is available in the Library. These estimate the total cost of establishing the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection and the Commission for Social Care Inspection as being in the region of £22 million.
