§ Mr. GoodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made in meeting targets for the proportion of people with disabilities in senior posts in his Department. [146004]
§ Ms Rosie WintertonThe latest staffing data, as at 1 April 2003, shows that in the Department and its agencies there are nine senior civil servants who have declared that they have a disability. This represents 2.4 per cent. of the total number of senior civil servants in the Department on that date.
Statistical information about senior civil servants with disabilities is available on the Civil Service Statistics website at www.civil-service.gov.uk/statistics/ documents/pdf/disability-oct03.pdf.
