Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what specialist support will be available for disabled people under the new Work and Health Programme; and if he will make a statement.

The Department is currently developing the design of the new Work and Health programme, and this includes consideration of what support disabled claimants might need to move into work, including specialist support, and how that support might best be delivered within the new programme.

The Department will publish the details of this within the specification for the new programme later this year.
