The Government has announced £58 million of funding to help get people with health conditions back into work. The Department of Work and Pensions said on Sunday that it was estimated the funding would help 25,000 people in England with mental or physical health conditions to start or stay in jobs by March 2025.
It forms part of the Government’s plan, outlined by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in his Spring Budget, to get disabled people and those with long-term health conditions back into work. The scheme was first launched in April to support 12,700 people across South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, west London, Norfolk, Cheshire West and Chester, and the West Midlands – at a cost of £27.9 million.
Associate director of primary care at NHS Bassetlaw Place Andrew Beardsall said: “The expansion of IPSPC is great for patients and for primary care professionals. “GPs often report that in trying to deal with patients’ physical and mental health issues they are often only treating a small part of their patients’ overall problems, which cannot be tackled in isolation.
