Asked by:
Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

For the first phase of Universal Support, which includes both Work and Health Programme Pioneer and Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care, Providers and Local Authorities will tailor the level of support to an individual’s needs. Subsequently the DWP does not collect data on the volume and intervention type for meetings conducted with individuals participating in these programmes.
