Government sets out plans to tackle economic inactivity caused by ill health

The Government has set out plans to expand support for people who are out of work due to ill health in a bid to get more into employment. Data shows that the top reasons for ill health-related economic inactivity are mental illness and musculoskeletal disorders (MSK) such as back pain.
The article from The Standard discusses the appointment of Liz Kendall as the new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in the UK government. Kendall, previously the shadow work and pensions secretary, has taken over from Mel Stride. Her appointment comes at a time when the government is focusing on welfare reforms, aiming to address issues like the rising costs of benefits and the need for better support for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. Kendall has expressed her commitment to tackling these challenges, emphasizing the need for a welfare system that supports people into work rather than keeping them out of it. This shift in policy direction is part of a broader strategy by the Labour government to reform welfare, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting also mentioned in the context of health-related welfare reforms. The article highlights the political and policy implications of her new role, including her past critiques of the welfare system under previous administrations.
