answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>On Tuesday 25 June the Government launched a new cross-government approach on disability which is guided by a vision that recognises the contributions that disabled people make and where disabled people can participate fully in society.</p><p> </p><p>To drive forward this approach, government will establish a new cross-departmental disability team in the Cabinet Office and the Office for Disability Issues will be incorporated into the team. This move recognises that disabled people, including those with neurodevelopmental conditions, face barriers across a wide range of aspects of their lives and across the whole of the life course, and that coordinated cross-government action is therefore vital.</p><p> </p><p>The new disability team in the Cabinet Office will sit in the new Equalities Hub alongside the Government Equalities Office and the Race Disparity Unit. Together they will be better equipped to drive meaningful progress on equality and to tackle intersectional issues.</p><p> </p><p>The team will work closely with disabled people, disabled people’s organisations and charities to take forward this new approach to disability, with their views and experiences at the forefront of any new policy.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 18/07/2019 13:47:23 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>The Statutory Sick Pay (Medical Evidence) Regulations 1985 already allow for other forms of medical information to be used in place of a fit note as long as there is an agreement between employer and employee that the other option, which can include an Allied Health Professions Advisory Fitness for Work Report, is acceptable. The regulations do not however name a particular alternative as being the most suitable replacement.</p><p> </p><p>In November 2017, The Government Command paper “<em>Improving Lives: The Future of Work, Health and Disability” </em>committed to investigating the feasibility of using the AHP Advisory Fitness for Work Report for the purposes of Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). The Paper can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/improving-lives-the-future-of-work-health-and-disability" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/improving-lives-the-future-of-work-health-and-disability</a></p><p> </p><p>A rapid review was held in February 2018 involving extensive work by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) with its fellow organisations under the Allied Health Professions Federation and the Joint Department for Health and Social Care and Department for Work and Pensions Work and Health Unit. Following this, the RCOT and Chartered Society of Physiotherapists released a statement advising their members that the Allied Health Professions report can be used to provide evidence for the purposes of SSP and encouraging them to increase their use of this document within their professional remits.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The link to statement can be found here: <a href="https://www.rcot.co.uk/news/ahp-advisory-fitness-work-report-admissible-evidence-statutory-sick-pay" target="_blank">https://www.rcot.co.uk/news/ahp-advisory-fitness-work-report-admissible-evidence-statutory-sick-pay</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 01/11/2018 17:48:49 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
