I refer my Hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 22 October 2014 to Question UIN 210227<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The primary support for business in Stafford and elsewhere is our long term economic plan which is delivering jobs, growth and low inflation.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

16 start up loans have been made available in Stafford and 1,000 Apprenticeships in the past year.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

My Hon. Friend may also wish to note that in the Stafford constituency there is one Round 1 Regional Growth Fund project with a grant of £4 million leveraging £57 million of private sector investment and creating or safeguarding 1,600 jobs. The grant will help the company undertake research and development for the creation of High Voltage Direct Current power transmission products, including the installation of equipment at a new engineering centre of excellence owned and run by the company in Stafford. It will create 200 new jobs and safeguard 1,400 existing jobs.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Businesses can access support via two local programmes that cover the Stafford constituency. These are run by the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the above there are a number of national Regional Growth Fund programmes which companies in Stafford can apply to.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Stoke and Staffordshire LEP area is one of 15 Wave 2 Cities who are receiving £6.4m Government funding to establish growth hubs in 2014-15, from a £32m Regional Growth Fund programme managed by Lancaster University which also includes local business support. Growth hubs are intended to raise awareness and take up of business support, impact of business support, simplify the local business support landscape, eliminate duplication and improve the impact of business support, helping to increase private sector growth.<\/p>

    Notes:<\/em><\/p>

    1. A&E Attendance:<\/p>

    A count of the number of attendances at A&E. This does not represent the number of patients as an individual may attend on more than one occasion in any given period.<\/p>

    2. Hospital Provider:<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

    A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (eg NHS trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers, where the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be missing. Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be lower than true figures.<\/p>

    3. Assessing growth through time (A&E):<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

    HES figures are available from 2007-08 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage and changes in National Health Service practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care.<\/p>

    4. Provisional data 2013-14:<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

    The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in the final dataset. This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the latest period, ie November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding inconsistencies that have not yet been investigated and corrected.<\/p>

    5. Official source of A&E activity data:<\/p>

    HES is not the official source of total A&E activity, this is the NHS England situation reports collection - http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ae-waiting-times-and-activity/
    However, HES permits further analysis of A&E activity as there are a range of data items by which HES can be analysed.
