Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what figures her Department collects on her Department's decision makers for the purposes of performance management; and whether those figures include the number of (a) decisions made, (b) mandatory reconsiderations and (c) decisions overturned on appeal.

We collect figures on the Department’s decision making in order to manage the throughput of work and level of service provided. That information does include the number of decisions made, mandatory reconsiderations and appeals. However, we don't collate information on individual decision makers for the purpose of performance management.
