On 19 October 2005, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Department
of Health (DH), and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched the
first stage of a strategy (Health, work and wellbeing - caring for our
future) which pulls together all the different strands of work going on in
this area within government to place real responsibility not only in the
hands of Government, but also with employers, individuals, the healthcare
profession and stakeholders.
The strategy lays out a blueprint for change, so that work related illness
and accidents can be avoided in the first place, but if not ensures people
get fast treatment and that they can access occupational health when it is
needed. It also puts the emphasis on creating healthy working environments.
The strategy will be led by the new National Director of Occupational
Health. Its main themes are engaging stakeholders, improving working lives
and healthcare for working age people. The next step will be to publish a
charter next spring, which will include an action plan.
