We also need to be alive to the challenges that we face in our employment market. We should take not a siloed approach to this matter, but an holistic approach that looks at how we can fix the whole system. Therefore, as Liberal Democrats, we truly welcome the Charlie Mayfield review. Looking over the channel at our continental neighbours, we see that they have significantly higher productivity and higher employment among people who are long-term sick and have disabilities. Clearly there are lessons that can be learned. Chasing this legislation through Parliament in the way that has been done is setting the situation up for failure.
