Recently a number of constituents have written to
me to ask if I would support and promote the government’s Access to Work scheme
which could be providing vital workplace support for people living
arthritis and other health conditions: https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work
They inform me that a recent report shows that
nearly 70% of people with arthritis have never accessed support from the
scheme, with 60% saying they had never even heard of it.
I want to see these scheme being properly promoted
and made use of by people who need it, as much as constituents do.
As such I am glad to be informing constituents that
I will be contacting Versus Arthritis to express to them my support of their work
and campaign on this issue.
