HC Deb 29 November 1999 vol 340 c52W
Mr. Efford

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he is taking to review the Benefits Agency Medical Service. [99073]

Mr. Bayley

The Contract for the provision of medical services to the Benefits Agency was awarded to Sema Group from 1 September 1998 for five years. The service is managed and monitored on a daily basis by a dedicated Benefits Agency Contract Management Team. The service provided by Sema Group has not necessitated a review to be conducted and there are no plans currently for a review to be carried out.
