The following query will achieve this quite nicely.
SELECT
STUFF( (SELECT TOP 10
'; ' + COALESCE (Surname + ',' + Forename + ' ' + MiddleInitial , Surname + ',' + Forename, Surname)
FROM Person
FOR XML PATH('')),
1,
2,
'')
The important pieces of this query are that we're using the STUFF function to remove the starting '; ' from the resulting string, and also using FOR XML PATH('') to get the results of the inner SQL select into a single row result set instead of 10 rows.
Results come back in the format...
Surname1, Forename1; Surname2, Forename2; Surname3, Forename3
