Mr. Fitzpatrick: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many claimants of jobseeker's allowance restrict their availability for work because of ill health or disability; and how many of these are over the age of 50 years. [26164] Mr. Alan Howarth: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given. Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. Jim Fitzpatrick, dated February 1998: The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question relating to the number of Jobseeker's Allowance claimants who restrict their availability for work because of ill-health or disability and how many of these are over age 50. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Employment Service Chief Executive. Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations allow people with physical and mental health problems to restrict their availability, providing the restrictions are reasonable in the light of their condition. Jobseekers agree any restrictions with advisers when they draw up their Jobseeker's Agreement when they first claim Jobseeker's Allowance. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the precise information you require. We do not hold information about how many jobseekers there are who place restrictions on ill-health or disability and are over 50 years of age. Statistics are available on the number of claims referred to and decisions made by the adjudication authorities where there is a doubt on availability because an unreasonable restriction has been identified. These can be found within the Analysis of Adjudication Officers Decisions, a copy of which is retained within the House of Commons Library. I hope this is helpful.

Mr. Fitzpatrick: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many disabled people have started a rehabilitation programme in the last 12 months; and what is his estimate of the average cost per place on an employment rehabilitation programme. [26163] Mr. Alan Howarth: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given. Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. Jim Fitzpatrick, dated 9 February 1998: The Secretary of State for Education and Employment has asked me to reply to your question relating to the number of disabled people who started a rehabilitation programme in the last 12 months, and his estimate of the average cost per place on an employment rehabilitation programme. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Employment Service Chief Executive. In the 12 months to December 1997, 14,262 people with disabilities started employment rehabilitation programmes. In the same period, £9,526,000 was spent on the programme. Unfortunately, the Employment Service do not hold information on the average cost per rehabilitation place as this is not a particularly meaningful measure in the context of this programme. This is because employment rehabilitation programmes are individually tailored to the needs of each person. The programme can therefore last a few days or a few weeks, and can be on a part time or full time basis. Whilst the majority of employment rehabilitation programmes are within daily travelling distance, there may also be instances where a period of more costly residential rehabilitation may be necessary. I hope this is helpful.
