HC Deb 26 November 2001 vol 375 c709W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment he has made of the work conducted by SEMA doctors on behalf of his Department in Cambridgeshire; and if he will make a statement. [17479]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

The work of all SchlumbergerSema doctors on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions is closely monitored by SchlumbergerSema and the Department. The performance of doctors in Cambridgeshire has in general met the required standards and no major issues of concern over quality standards have emerged. Where monitoring identifies there is room for improvement of a doctor's performance, appropriate feedback is given to the doctor concerned.

Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will make a statement on the extension of SEMA's contract. [18227]
