Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Scotland have had DWP form DS1500 signed by their doctor to confirm they are terminally ill in the latest period for which figures are available.

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions is unable to provide the requested information as the DS1500 is completed by various Health Care Professionals from across the UK and the Department is not required to capture this level of Management Information.
