The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how frequently does the Department review performance data on Access to Work delivery; and will this data be published regularly.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Department reviews Access to Work performance data regularly to monitor and maintain service delivery standards. This information is used internally to manage and improve performance. It is not published, as it is considered management information rather than official statistics.
