<p>We recognise that the gap between the employment rates of disabled people and non-disabled
people remains too large.</p><p>Last year the Work and Health Unit was established
to lead the drive for improving work and health outcomes for people with health conditions
and disabilities, as well as improving support for people absent from work through
ill health and those at risk of leaving workforce.</p><p>The Unit has begun work to
build the evidence base of what works to support disabled people and people with health
conditions to obtain and remain in work.</p><p>We plan to produce a Green Paper later
this year that will explore a range of ways to improve the prospects and transform
the lives of disabled people and people with long term health conditions by removing
barriers that prevent them from working, and helping ensure that they are able to
obtain and remain in work.</p>
