Mr. Webb: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will place in the Library a copy of the Pathways to Work pilot scheme evaluation referred to on page 17 of his Department's publication UK National Action Plan for Employment. [194695] Maria Eagle: A report on interviews carried out with Personal Advisers and Incapacity Benefit customers in the first three Pathways to Work pilots was published in September 2004. A copy has been placed in the Library. [W202 `Incapacity Benefit reforms: Early Findings from Qualitative Research'.] A further report, which looks in detail at the role and practices of Personal Advisers across all seven pilot districts, will be published in late November. These studies are part of a wide-ranging evaluation of all aspects of the Pathways pilots. Reports on different elements of the evaluation will be placed in the Library as they are published. Part of the UK National Action Plan for Employment also referred to the improved job entry performance in pilot areas. This was derived from early internal analysis of Jobcentre Plus recorded job entries in the pilot areas. Since that report was written, there is now further emerging evidence showing that Pathways areas are achieving double the level of improvement in the number of recorded job entries compared to other areas. They are also getting about six times as many people to take up further help to get back to work, and there are positive and encouraging indications of an increase in flows off incapacity benefit in comparison to both last year and to non-pilot areas.

[186226] Maria Eagle: In total, there have been 5,600 job entries in the Pathways to Work pilots to the end of August 2004. Of these, 4,200 were in the first three pilot districts which have been up and running since the end of October 2003 The following table sets out the details requested solely in relation to those who have had an initial work-focused interview: Outcomes in the first three pathways to work pilots to August 2004 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Notes: 1. The first three Pathways to Work pilots commenced on 27 October 2003. 2. Work Focused Interviews should take place at around eight weeks after the start of the benefit claim. This means that majority of benefits starts in July and August will not be included in the data. 3. Initial Work Focused Interviews attended refers to the actual number of Work Focused Interviews that have taken place. Some individuals will have attended more than one Work Focused Interview. These will be people who have started more than one benefit spell since 27 October 2003. 4. Job starts: This includes all recorded job entries plus Return to Work Credit (RTWC) awards for which no job entry is yet recorded. (By definition, an RTWC award must indicate that a job entry has occurred). 5. The total number of job entries in the first three pilot areas is higher than that recorded in the table. This table excludes job entries achieved with existing clients who had already started to claim benefit before 27 October 2003 and those not required to have a work- focused interview. 6. Job starts figures include job starts achieved through referral to New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) job brokers. 7. The job starts figures represent all job starts that have occurred subsequent to an initial Work Focused Interview within the same benefit spell. 8. Referred to Condition Management Programme: this represents all Condition Management Programme referrals that have occurred subsequent to an initial Work Focused Interview within the same benefit spell. 9. New Deal for Disabled People referrals: The data provided is all NDDP broker registrations plus referrals to NDDP brokers that have not yet resulted in a registration. This represents all NDDP referrals that have occurred subsequent to an initial Work Focused Interview within the same benefit spell.
