The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when the Occupational Health Taskforce (a) last met and (b) is scheduled to next meet.

Answered by Alison McGovern

As outlined in the previous Government’s response to the Occupational Health: Working Better consultation (published on 23 November 2023), an expert occupational health taskforce led by Dame Carol Black was established in February 2024 to explore the development of a new voluntary framework for OH provision.

The taskforce last met on 26th April 2024 and Government is reviewing how best to progress the evidence, stakeholder views and insights gathered as part of the policy development previously undertaken for this work.
