§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will publish the last two national surveys of employees in his Department; what action has been taken as a result of the most recent survey; and if he will make a statement. [125442]
§ Mr. RookerThe last two national surveys of employees in the Department were the Child Support Agency's staff attitude survey carried out in May 1999 and an internal communications survey completed on 2 June 2000.
We do not expect to publish these surveys externally.
The recent survey of internal communications will be used to rationalise and improve internal communications processes. A summary of the results will be available for staff via internal staff media.
The Department is committed to the civil service reform agenda, which includes providing a better deal for staff. The results of national employee surveys will be used to deliver this aim and ultimately provide a better service for the public.
