Mr. Russell Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what target levels have been set for the aims and objectives of the
Employment Service in Scotland in operational year 2001-02. [161065]
Mrs. Liddell: The aim of the Employment Service is to help people without jobs find work and employers to fill their vacancies. The
Employment Service in Scotland makes an important contribution to an efficient and flexible labour market and to delivering the
Government's welfare to work policies, working in close partnership with employers and others. These targets pave the way for the
new agency, Jobcentre Plus, whose pathfinder offices will begin work in October. They give stronger emphasis than ever before to
helping individuals facing particular difficulty in the labour market to move from unemployment and economic inactivity into
sustainable employment. The highest priority will be given to helping people who have been economically inactive for long periods,
including lone parents, to find work, and to capitalise on the opportunities created by the new generation of New Deals.
I am announcing today the targets we have set for Scotland. They are challenging and stretching. We are looking for improved levels
of customer service to jobseekers and employers, together with consolidation of the improved performance against the Jobseeker's
Allowance Labour Market Activity target. These targets cover a full year, but we propose to carry out a comprehensive consultation
and review later in the year that will inform the setting of targets for the new agency for people of working age, called Jobcentre
Plus, for 2002-03.
The targets for the Employment Service in Scotland for 2001-02 are:
Vision and Purpose
The Employment Service in Scotland aims to make to make a major contribution to an efficient and flexible labour market and to the
Government's objectives of an increase in the effective supply of labour, and countering poverty and social exclusion by helping
welfare recipients facing the most severe disadvantages to compete effectively for jobs. It does this by working closely with
employers and with its private, voluntary and public sector partners to provide a quality service for all people without a job and
to promote employment opportunities for all who can work. It aims to attract a diverse range of vacancies and to fill those
vacancies quickly by matching the right people and skills with the right jobs. Its chief priority is to help individuals facing
particular difficulty in the labour market to move from welfare and economic inactivity into sustainable employment. It does this
through correct application of the Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) regime, delivery of the New Deals, and the provision of appropriate
information, advice, training and support. The challenge and opportunity for the Employment Service, is to sustain continuous
improvement in its services to jobseekers and employers and to make these services more accessible and relevant to customer needs,
through effective use of modern technology and close working with a wide range of partners.
Aim
To help people without jobs find work and employers to fill their vacancies.

Ms Osborne: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what performance targets have been set in respect of the employment service
in Scotland's aims and objectives in 2000-01. [127225]
Dr. Reid: The aim of the Employment Service is to help people without jobs find work and employers to fill their vacancies. The
Employment Service in Scotland makes a significant contribution to an efficient and flexible labour market and to meeting the
Government's objectives of high and stable employment and growth, opportunity for all and social inclusion. Its main priority is to
help people faced with particular difficulties in the labour market move from welfare and economic inactivity into sustainable
employment. It is taking forward an ambitious programme of technological change and business improvement and is preparing for the
merger with the Benefits Agency in 2001. I am announcing today the targets we have set for the Employment Service in Scotland for
2000-01, which relate to its four key objectives.
Vision and Purpose The Employment Service in Scotland aims to make a major contribution to an efficient and flexible labour market
and to the Government's objectives of high and stable levels of employment and growth, opportunity for all and social inclusion. The
Employment Service in Scotland works closely with employers, and with its private, public and voluntary sector partners to provide a
quality service for all people without a job and to promote employment opportunities for all who can work. It aims to attract a
diverse range of vacancies and to fill those vacancies quickly by matching the right people and skills with the right jobs. Its main
priority is to help individuals facing particular difficulty in the labour market to move from welfare and economic inactivity into
sustainable employment. It does this through correct application of the JSA regime, delivery of the New Deals and the pilot ONE
service, and through the provision of appropriate advice training and support. The Agency has achieved much over the past three
years. The challenge and opportunity now facing it is to sustain continuous improvement in its services to jobseekers and employers
and to make these services more accessible and relevant to customer needs, through effective use of modern technology and close
working with a wide range of partners.
Aim To help people without jobs find work and employers to fill their vacancies.
Objective A To help all people without jobs, and particularly those on welfare and at a disadvantage in the labour market, to find
and keep work by providing appropriate information, advice, training and support and by encouraging employers to open more

5. To help 169,325 jobless people into work, directly or in partnership with others.

Mr. David Marshall: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will list the number of blind and disabled
people and the number of able-bodied people employed in each sheltered workshop in Scotland indicating the cost of each category in
each workshop; and if she will make a statement. [40034]
Mr. Forth: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its chief
executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Mike Fogden to Mr. David Marshall, dated 14 October 1996:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the number of people employed in Supported Workshops in
Scotland. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency.
Information on the number of people in Scottish workshops supported by the Employment Service (ES) under its Supported Employment
Programme is provided at Annex 1. The Programme is provided under contracts between the workshop owners (who are local authorities
or voluntary bodies) and the ES and covers placements with employers as well as workshop places.
Information on the costs of workshop employees in the requested categories (blind people, other disabilities and non-disabled
people) is not available. It is not required for management purposes by the ES; no figures are therefore obtained or kept.
Information on the per capita costs of disabled employees supported by the ES is gathered by the ES from voluntary body and local
authority contractors as it is a requirement for funding. Contractors provide this information to the ES on a confidential basis as
it is commercially sensitive and so individual workshop figures are not publicly available from the ES. However the average cost per
disabled employee in Scottish workshops, in 1994/95, the latest year for which figures are available, was £10,695. In that year
costs ranged from a loss of £18,783 per worker in one workshop to a loss of £4,421 per worker in another.
I hope this is helpful.
