Labour urged to create ‘national occupational health service’

Labour urged to create ‘national occupational health service’

The Fabian Society has urged the Labour government to establish a "national occupational health service" funded by a £2 billion levy on major employers. This service aims to address the growing issue of long-term sickness and worklessness, which has led to millions of people being out of work. The proposed service would provide universal healthcare for employees, with the goal of keeping more people in their jobs and reducing the impact of ill-health on the workforce. The Fabian Society believes that this measure could help to tackle the current worklessness crisis in the UK.
