Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people are currently waiting to see a doctor health care professional for the purposes of a work capability assessment in (a) Hemsworth constituency and (b) the UK.

Cases are either identified as having to be seen by a doctor only, or they can be seen by a doctor, nurse or physiotherapist. Therefore, there are no cases which are specifically ring fenced for assessment by nurses or physiotherapists.

There are currently 41,109 people waiting for an assessment with a doctor.

Data is not captured at constituency level.
