The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department plans to publish an Equality Impact Assessment of proposed reforms to the health and benefit system.

As with all policies, we will ensure that considerations about their impact are at the heart of the policy making process. We will consider the publication of any future Equality Impact Assessments on a case by case basis as usual.
