Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will publish the results of the Health Transformation Programme pilot, including information provided by disabled people on whether that system has improved their experience.

The Health Transformation Programme has begun developing a new Health Assessment Service in a small area known as the Health Transformation Area (HTA). The HTA is not a pilot, but a controlled safe environment where we can develop the new service at small scale, exploring ideas from claimants, stakeholders and DWP staff. Our first site opened in April 2021 and have begun expanding the HTA gradually from this starting point. Early qualitative research continues to be undertaken in the HTA to explore initial outcomes, but it would be premature to consider publication.
