So far we have introduced:</p><p> </p><ul><li>A dedicated phone service;</li><li>An electronic transfer of information between claimant's health professional, DWP and assessment providers.</li><li>A new process to enable SRTI decisions to be made in-house with support from health care professionals.</li><li>A streamlined Assessment Report form.</li></ul> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 24/06/2014 15:25:53 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
