Capita’s handling of the civil service pension scheme has been absolutely abysmal. I have constituents in the Prison Service and across the whole civil service who have had their life devastated because of the financial consequences. Will the Leader of the House escalate this matter to the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister? A cross-departmental approach is now required to ensure that Capita cannot continue to degrade our public services and the people who work in them.
Sir Alan Campbell
I certainly will do as my hon. Friend asks. The Government are taking action on these matters, but I will also undertake to escalate this in the way that she suggests.

Sir Alan Campbell
I hope that FirstPort hears what the hon. Gentleman has said, but my understanding, which I hope is correct, is that Ministers have brought in FirstPort to discuss these matters and get its game in order. If he wishes to seek a meeting with a Minister, I will try to facilitate that.

Audiology services in Doncaster have faced huge problems for some time, and while the trust is working hard to improve the service, it is unacceptable that some of my constituents have been waiting years for basic hearing tests, and to have their hearing aid needs met. I pay tribute to Maggie and Paul from the Audiology Action Group, who have done a huge amount of work to raise this issue. Does the Leader of the House agree that this service is unacceptable for my constituents, and will he perhaps make time for a debate in this House to raise awareness of how important audiology is, both in Doncaster and across the country?
Sir Alan Campbell
I join my hon. Friend in paying tribute to her constituents, and thank her for raising this important matter. Audiology is a vital part of healthcare in our country. She may wish to apply for a Westminster Hall debate to go into this matter more fully, or raise it at Health oral questions, which will take place on 24 February.
