<p>Increasing access to quality occupational health (OH) services can support disabled people, and people with health conditions, to remain in, and thrive in, work, which contributes to reducing health-related inactivity.</p><p> </p><p>In ‘Health is Everyone’s Business’, the Government committed to testing a financial incentive (subsidy) for SMEs and the self-employed to understand whether the scheme can help to increase access for these groups. It was announced in the Spring Budget that this test will be expanded. User-centred design is underway with some small-scale testing of the service planned in 2023. Details of the scheme will be shared ahead of launch activity, including eligibility criteria, subsidy level and location for initial testing.</p> |
