Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the number of people who have received Access to Work grants in each of the last five years.
The 2019/20 Access to Work statistics show that over 43,000 people with disabilities and health conditions are receiving tailored and flexible support to do their job.
During this period Access to Work has continued to expand its reach to underrepresented groups including those with Mental Health conditions, seeing the highest ever number of people approved for support: up 95% on the previous year.
