Job Evaluation and Grading Support (JEGS), an analytical points-based system which is used by trained evaluators to rank roles from AA to Grade 6. This also incorporates Grading Guidance which provides an analytical matching of posts based on JEGS, a good level of assurance and is less resource intensive than a full evaluation.</p><p> </p><p>2. Job Evaluation for Senior Posts (JESP) which is similar to JEGS but used to evaluate posts in the Senior Civil Service.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>DWP evaluates all new roles and roles where there has been a fundamental or material change in job content using one of these schemes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Information on JEGS, including use of grading guidance, is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/job-evaluation-and-grading-support-jegs-for-civil-servants" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/job-evaluation-and-grading-support-jegs-for-civil-servants</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Information on JESP is available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/job-evaluation-for-senior-posts-good-practice-guide" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/job-evaluation-for-senior-posts-good-practice-guide</a></p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 28/10/2014 14:19:49 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb

uin	210884
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>Data on the numbers of personnel treated at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) at Headley Court is only available from 2005 onwards. The following number of Service personnel from the UK, including Reservists, and other nations were treated at DMRC Headley Court between 1 January 2005 and 30 September 2014.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of Personnel</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total number of personnel</p></td><td><p>9,599</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Pre 2008</p></td><td><p>293</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>1,218</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>2,491</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2,968</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>3,090</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>3,141</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2,719</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>2,101</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The total number of personnel does not match the sum of the yearly figures. This is because if an individual is treated in more than one year period, they are counted in each of those years, whereas they are counted only once in the total number of personnel. Further, where personnel have been treated for more than one injury, they have been counted only once.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The figures showing the number of appointments at DMRC prior to 1 September 2008 show the minimum number of people who were treated during that period. Personnel who were treated prior to 1 September 2008 whose departure date is not recorded are included only in the year of their arrival.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 27/10/2014 16:51:17 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 24030 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence is no longer pursuing a “Future Rapid Effects System” programme. The capability that the Future Rapid Effects System was intended to deliver is now being delivered through other projects, principally the SCOUT Specialist Vehicle (SV) and the Utility Vehicle (UV). SCOUT is the transformational project that will refresh our entire armoured capability and allow us to remain a global first-tier military force. <br><br>A £3.5 billion contract to procure 589 SCOUT (SVs) was announced by my right hon .Friend the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) on 3 September 2014 (Official Report, column 20WS). The Utility Vehicle programme, including work to define the requirements of the vehicle, is in its early stages.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 10/09/2014 13:11:44 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne attachment 1 file name Defence.Doc WMS Defence Procurement 3 September.doc title WMS Defence Procurement 3 September

tabling member constituency	North Durham

uin	208104
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p>The previous Defence Secretary, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), outlined changes to streamline the Army Reserve structure under the Future Reserves 2020 plan on 3 July 2013 (Official Report: Column 49WS). <br><br>The result of this plan was that a number of Army Reserve Centres were identified as surplus to Army requirements and would therefore be closed. Since then plans to pair Reserve units with Regular units have been developed and the Army has undertaken further work to ensure the optimum geographical footprint is in place. This work has taken into account recruiting performance, long term value for money and the delivery of operational capability. As a result of this work some units previously scheduled for closure will now remain open. Others may also remain open, subject to significantly improved recruiting performance before 2016. Members affected by these changes will be notified at the time and I intend to keep Parliament updated on these changes on an annual basis.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 10/09/2014 13:17:56 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier attachment 1 file name Defence.doc WMS 3 July 2013.doc title WMS Extract Army Reserve 3 July 2013
