The Health at Work Review — implications for the public sector

On 21 November 2011, the outcomes of an independent review of sickness absence in the UK (Health at work — an independent review of sickness absence) were published. This review was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions last February, and was undertaken by David Frost, former Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce and Dame Carol Black, the Government’s National Director for Health and Work.
