<p>As part of the government’s Back to Work Plan we have launched and plan to deliver
a range of other support which will put in place an offer to a broader range of disabled
people, for example, Universal Support will support up to 100,000 disabled people,
people with health conditions and people with additional barriers to employment per
year, once fully rolled out, helping them to find, enter, and remain in work.</p><p>
</p><p>The Work and Health Programme (WHP) has supported 300k people since it was
introduced in 2017 to the end of November 2023, of whom over 130k have entered employment
in this time. More recently WHP Pioneer, which is part of the first phase of Universal
Support, aims to support up to 25k people through DWP contracts. The next publication
of WHP Statistics on Gov.UK is due at the end of May 2024.</p>
