Updated: Updated indicator with latest data: Gap between employment rates for disabled people and the overall population.
The government is committed to setting new standards for transparency so the public can more easily see how and where taxpayers’ money is being spent and hold politicians, government departments and public bodies to account.
The Prime Minister has asked all government departments to publish a wide range of information about how it meets and measures its objectives and uses its resources to better deliver value for money and reduce the deficit.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) publishes a range of data and supports greater transparency of public information. The department publishes data on its business plan indicators on this page as soon as new data become available. The indicators will be reported on formally in the department’s annual report and accounts.
Business plan indicator data before October 2012 is published in the Quarterly Data Summary.
The transparency measures include input indicator measures (DWP productivity) and impact indicator measures (such as ‘rates of people moving from key out of work benefits’ and ‘rate of disability poverty’).
