The Access to Work Mental Health Support Service can offer support to individuals with a mental health condition who are absent from work or finding work difficult.<\/p>
<\/p>
The service supports those experiencing depression, anxiety, stress or other mental health issues that are affecting their work.<\/p>
<\/p>
The service was established in December 2011 and is delivered by Remploy Employment Services.<\/p>
<\/p>
Fit for Work provides both a supportive occupational health assessment and general health and work advice to employees, employers and General Practitioners (GPs), to help individuals stay in or return to work.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also allocated over £43 million in the next three years to pilot services which support people with common mental health conditions to get into, and stay in, work. These will include buying early access to support online cognitive behavioural therapy for claimants and users of Fit for Work; and co-locating NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services in Jobcentres.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-24T14:10:35.577Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Employment: Mental Illness"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what support his Department provides for people in employment with mental health problems.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4488", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Martyn Day"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Linlithgow and East Falkirk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Martyn Day"} ], "uin" : "2900"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/156332", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/156332/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

slavery. The provisions in the Bill are designed to protect victims and
strengthen the law enforcement response. Increased sentences, restricting the
activities of those who pose a risk to others and introducing an Anti-Slavery
Commissioner will ensure that law enforcement have the tools they need to
prosecute and convict the perpetrators of this abhorrent crime, whilst at the
same time protecting more people from becoming victims of this appalling crime.<\/p>
