Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has held recent discussions with the Welsh Government on requirements to attend the Jobcentre for people with health problems.

Although there have been no recent discussions with the Welsh Government concerning Jobcentre attendance for people with health conditions, there is a well-established working relationship between the Department and the Welsh Government, ensuring that we work together on devolved and reserved areas effectively.

Our Work Coaches personalise the support provided for each individual claimant and vary the frequency and method of contact in line with the claimant’s needs, circumstances, and capability, including the use of digital and telephone channels where appropriate.
