@c4news: The government released a white paper today with the aim of tackling the UK's near record number of people who are out of work due to long-term sick leave. Asked whether the government plans to punish people who do not look for work, Liz Kendall the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions said: 'If people repeatedly refuse to engage that will mean sanctions.' #News #Channel4News #Jobs #Unemployment #MentalHealth
Many people are on benefits on sick because nhs waiting times are literally out of control. Mental health can be up to 18 months. My mum with lung cancer has been waiting 6 months like sort that first
