HC Deb 08 May 2001 vol 368 cc4-5W
Mr. Colman

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security in how many cases since 1 May 1997 in which Dr. Abou-Amer was the examining medical practitioner the decision maker's ruling on entitlement to benefit has been overturned on appeal. [160612]

Mr. Bayley

The information is not available. Neither medical services nor the Benefits Agency keep records that identify which examining medical practitioners were involved in individual cases. The appeals service does not record details of the examining medical practitioner involved in cases coming to appeal.
