Health and Work Unit

The Health and Work Unit  was established in the Autumn Spending Review 2015, with £115 million pledged for delivery of its work, piloting ways to join up thinking and action across the health and employment sectors (the Department for Work and Pensions and Department of Health, with people seconded from local government, NHS England and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills). Its priorities have been stated by the head of delivery as being improving productivity and growth in the economy, including working to reduce health inequalities. The programme is still in development [1].
