To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what plans he has to develop the role of care managers (a) in vocational rehabilitation and (b) in developing appropriate (i) training and (ii) qualifications for them. [20805]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

[holding answer 6 December 2001]We are still establishing our strategy on the provision of a vocational rehabilitation service. We will consider the role of a care manager in any possible future service. No decision has been taken on any appropriate training and qualifications that may be needed.
