Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of customers who attend Easterhouse Jobcentre have been sent a letter informing them of the upcoming closure of the premises.

Since 15 January 2018, a letter has been issued to every Easterhouse Jobcentre customer on a Work Coach caseload about the closure of the office.

The closure has also been communicated verbally to every customer who has visited the office. Posters have also been on display around the jobcentre about the closure and shared with relevant organisations and stakeholders including GP surgeries.

Posters have also been on display in the Medical Assessment Centre at Cadogan Street in Glasgow to alert people attending medicals of all the impending closures and mergers.

Finally, in addition to extensive local media coverage, our partner organisations including local Citizens Advice Scotland offices and housing associations have been kept fully informed about the closure.
