The below Parliamentary question was asked by Justin Madders on 2016-10-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the implication for his Department’s policies of the findings in the recent report from the charity Sense, Realising Aspirations for All.

Penny Mordaunt

We welcome the Sense report, Realising Aspirations for All and its findings. We want all disabled and people with a long term health condition to fulfil their potential and achieve their aspirations.

We will soon publish a Green Paper on work and health and conduct a consultation to understand how every individual can have the opportunity to work and share in the economic and health benefits that work brings, regardless of their health condition or disability. We will continue to engage with Sense and other key stakeholders as part of the Green Paper consultation.
