3. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if the serious delays in processing claims which require medical assessment and the consequent delays in the appeals process are directly related to the high turnover of medical assessors in her Department; her views on whether the lay-out of medical assessment forms which general practitioners and consultants must complete in respect of most such applications often encourage inadequate descriptive content to enable medical assessors to make an accurate decision and that this fuels further delays; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
