Policy and Research Director, Rachael Walker, speaks to @talktv on why Britain's workforce is becoming sicker and how we can support those in long term unemployment to return to work. We know the links between poverty and ill health and the benefits system must provide people who are ill with the financial resilience to focus on their health and getting better.
The NHS not giving treatment which could keep people in work, and employers not putting in free resonable adjustments means disabled people who want to work can't.
Covid jab crisis? What do u expect?
With 7 million on the queue for the NHS of course there are people going off sick.
My brother in law has been on the sick for arthritis for 20 years. Just had a brand new car given to him on top of everything else. Also has a motorbike and belongs to a biking club to go on long Sunday rides. Somehow can't work.
Is most of that money pensions. They count that as benefits for some odd reason.
eliminate sickness benefit. you would find a lot of people would find that they are well enough to work.
I don't think they would most would just survive without the benefits. They could get even worse and burden the NHS further. Or there partner or family would have to support them more.
@@chrishart8548 remaining unemployed and being a parasite on friends and family would be fine. it would give the hard working taxpayer a well deserved break. Privatize the NHS and everyone would be responsible for their own well-being. if only.
@@duncansmith7562 I don't mind That. The government haven't got the balls to change it anyway. My other half is very disabled but I wouldn't be surprised if they deemed her fit for work. I don't mind doing whatever it takes to support her. But she will never work we just won't receive the money. We actually don't even get enough to cover all the TAX I pay anyway
@@chrishart8548 what you describe confirms why I chose to leave the UK. Good luck to you.
@@duncansmith7562 I want to also leave the UK. I'm thinking Norway.
Just worked that out?
These stories are so divisive. You are in danger of tarring everyone with the same brush and that isn't fair. I would sooner pay for and English person to be on the sick rather than pay to put some scumbag who has just crossed the channel in a dinghy with questionable motives up in a five star hotel. We have our priorities all wrong in this country today.
