Written Answers — Health: Hospitals: Smoking (8 Jul 2009)

Phil Hope: The smoking ban in mental health in-patient settings came into force on 1 July 2008. We believe that many mental health trusts have implemented the ban with little or no difficulty.

Mental health staff and patients deserve the same healthier, smoke free environment as the rest of the national...

Fire Safety (27 Jan 2005)

The main cause was the careless handling of smoking materials. In other premises, there were 18 deaths and 920 injuries. Many of those fire deaths were preventable.

Fire Safety (27 Jan 2005)

Mr Phil Hope: My hon. Friend raises an excellent point. My very next point was that we need not only to increase ownership, particularly among the most vulnerable, but to ensure that existing smoke alarms are fully functioning. Later I will talk about some campaigns that the Department is running, one of which is called "Push the Button! Not your Luck". That is all about testing smoke alarms to ensure that...

Fire Safety (27 Jan 2005)

Mr Phil Hope: That was a helpful intervention. My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We recommend that smoke alarms be fitted near to those points.

The installation of working smoke alarms has the greatest chance of preventing...

Fire Safety (27 Jan 2005)

Mr Phil Hope: Each fire and rescue authority is looking at the needs of its own area and determining what priority it should give to home fire safety risk assessments or to spending money on more smoke alarms.

Whether a fire suppression method might be something...

Fire Safety (27 Jan 2005)

Mr Phil Hope: ...is the biggest such change for more than half a century. We are convinced that the way to save lives is to embed the risk-based approach in all activities, be it the use of candles or the use of smoke alarms. We can do that by requiring businesses to undertake and to act on risk assessments and by ensuring that our fire services have enough resources, share good practice and use the best...
