Access to Work Programme
Asked by: Vicky Foxcroft (Labour - Lewisham, Deptford)
Monday 26th February 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the longest waiting time was to receive approval for an Access to Work application in the last 12 months.

Answered by Mims Davies - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

The case with the longest waiting time to receive approval in the last 12 months was made on 26th January 2023 after 354 working days. This was due to issues with the claimant gathering and returning the supporting evidence needed to verify details of the case before it could be further progressed.

Guide Dogs
Asked by: Vicky Foxcroft (Labour - Lewisham, Deptford)
Monday 26th February 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of waiting times for a replacement guide dog after a previous dog has been retired on the blind and visually impaired community.

Answered by Mims Davies - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

Guide Dogs UK, as with other assistance dog charities and organisations, is an independent charity and the Government is not directly responsible or accountable for its activities. We aware of issues around the current shortage of guide dogs since the pandemic, and the previous Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work has had meetings and corresponded with Guide Dogs UK on this issue.

The Disability Action Plan, which was published in early February, sets out the immediate action HMG will be taking in 2024 to improve disabled people’s lives, including to improve support for people with assistance dogs and reduce access refusals, as well as laying the foundations for longer term change. It will complement the National Disability Strategy, which sets out our long term vision for disabled people in the UK.

NHS: Buildings
Asked by: Vicky Foxcroft (Labour - Lewisham, Deptford)
Tuesday 27th February 2024

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate she has made of the number and proportion of NHS buildings that contain asbestos.

Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Individual National Health Service organisations are legally responsible for maintaining their estates. NHS England continues to work with trusts to ensure their estates are a safe environment for patients and staff. Where asbestos may pose a safety risk, such as when disturbed during building works, experts are brought in to safely dispose of it.

The Government allocated £4.2 billion capital this financial year for the National Health Service to support local priorities, including where appropriate removing asbestos from buildings.

Statutory Sick Pay
Asked by: Vicky Foxcroft (Labour - Lewisham, Deptford)
Monday 4th March 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to Q102 of the oral evidence given by Lorraine Jackson to the Work and Pensions Select Committee on 31 January 2024, HC 148, when the constant review of statutory sick pay began; what steps his Department is taking to conduct this review; and what sources of information are included in this review.

Answered by Jo Churchill - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

As with all government policy, Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) policy is kept under review. The department through the Joint work and Health directorate, monitors feedback from correspondence and reviews evidence from a range of organisations. The rate of SSP is also reviewed each year as part of the annual uprating exercise.

The government reviewed SSP as part of both the ‘Work, health and disability green paper: improving lives’ consultation (2017) and the ‘Health is Everyone’s Business consultation’ (2019, HiEB). In response to the HiEB consultation (2021) we maintained that SSP provides an important link between the employee and employer but Ministers confirmed it was not the right time to introduce changes to the sick pay system.

The Government’s 2019 Health is Everyone’s Business Consultation proposed a package of reforms which aimed to reduce ill-health related job loss and support disabled people and people with health conditions to stay in and thrive in work. The consultation looked at the impact the current SSP system had on all workers, including older and disabled workers.
