Employment: Disability

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to Part One of the National Disability Strategy, published 28 July 2021, what assessment her Department has made of the average time taken for disabled people and people with health conditions to rapidly access appropriate tailored support following the 25 per cent increase in places on Intensive Personalised Employment Support from August 2021.

Answer

As the 25% increase in available places on the Intensive Personalised Employment Support (IPES) programme only began on 4th January, it is too early to have any data on its impact.
