Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to progress the proposals set out in the Green Paper entitled Work, health and disability green paper: Improving Lives.

The Government is committed to improving employment and health outcomes for disabled people including delivering on the manifesto commitment to get 1 million more disabled people into work over the next 10 years. We received a very large response to the consultation on the Green Paper, with over 6000 responses. We are considering these and will set out our next steps on this important agenda in due course.
