Details
The Department for Work and Pensions and Department of Health and
Social Care launched a call for evidence on fit
note reform in April 2024, which ran for 12 weeks and
closed on 8 July 2024.
We are grateful to all those who took the time to respond.
The questions within the call for evidence focussed on the impact
of the current fit note process in supporting work and health
conversations, and the enhancements needed to better support
people to start, stay and succeed in work. In particular, it
sought views and experiences on the following themes:
- individuals' and carers' experience
- employers' experience
- clinicians' and non-clinical healthcare professionals'
experience
- information gathering and wider system integration
- private work sickness certificates
