Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of the £6.4 million allocated to support disabled people at work will be apportioned to Wales.
This question was answered on 14th November 2022
The figure of £6.4m relates to a three-year programme of work to design, develop, and maintain the Support with Employee Health and Disability digital service which is a GB-wide service. This will provide online advice to help employers across GB to:
- Manage absences;
- Have inclusive conversations with employees about health and disability;
- Discuss and make changes at work to help disabled employees or employees with health conditions stay in work.
The Department for Work and Pensions are liaising with the devolved administrations in Wales and Scotland during the service development, which is on-going.
