Answer

Since 2016 to date 18 people with disabilities whose hours of work have dropped below 10 hours per week, have had to leave the Workable programme.

The Condition Management Programme is available to people who are struggling to remain in work due to their health condition or disability. The Condition Management Programme is a work-focused rehabilitation programme delivered on behalf of my Department by five Health and Social Care Trusts.
