To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether the responses to his Department's consultation on shaping future support: the health and disability green paper are publicly available.

Answer

During the consultation, we heard the views of more than 4,500 people and organisations, and discussed our proposals at over 40 public events.

We responded to the results of this consultation through Transforming Support: The Health and Disability White Paper on 15th March 2023. Our White Paper explains what we had heard and how the responses to our Green Paper consultation shaped the development of our proposals.

We will continue to work with disabled people and their representatives as we develop the proposals set out in the White Paper.
