Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect to reach conclusions following their review of the Fit for Work Scheme.
The Green Paper consultation set out our ambition to transform employment prospects for disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, and sought views on a range of issues including how to improve occupational health provision, drawing lessons from the Fit for Work service. We have been carefully considering the responses we received, to inform our approach to better supporting individuals to stay in and return to work. We will set out our plans for taking forward our ambitions in the Autumn.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lord Luce and the Chronic Pain Policy Coalition for their response to the Green Paper consultation which has given us valuable insight.
