Employment: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to support disabled people into work.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
This Government is committed to championing the rights of, and helping, disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
Last week we announced the expansion of our groundbreaking programme WorkWell across England, up to 250,000 more people with health conditions will receive support to stay in or return to work. This builds on our Pathways to Work Guarantee and our Connect to Work supported employment programme.
