Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what his timescale is for publishing the results of the consultation on the Health and Disability Green Paper.

We published Shaping future support: The Health and Disability Green Paper last year. This asked for views on ways we can improve the experience people have of our benefits system and set out ways we could make our services easier to access, make our processes simpler and help build people’s trust.

We received over 4,500 responses to the Health and Disability Green Paper consultation and are very grateful to all the individuals and organisations who contributed.

We will respond with a White Paper in the coming months.
