Coalition urges health secretary to back changes as long-term sickness levels reach record high
A coalition of charities and health experts has called for an overhaul of the UK’s “broken” sick pay system, as the number of people prevented from working by long-term sickness reached a record high.
The group urged the health secretary, Steve Barclay, to support changes that it says would not just address widening health inequalities but also benefit the economy.
