Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of people on the Work Programme have been indentified as having mental health problems; and what the employment outcomes have been for those people since the beginning of that programme.

Information is available which shows the number of ESA claimants who participate on the Work Programme and achieve a Job Outcome. This information also shows where a mental and behavioural disorder has been identified as the primary health condition by these participants. Information is available at:
