We continually monitor all elements of the PIP process through a combination of regular operational checks, performance monitoring and ad hoc focus on particular areas as required. As part of our performance monitoring, we are considering how we could best implement a comprehensive evaluation strategy which builds on the early evaluation research already published in July 2014.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 12/03/2015 15:48:44 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
