That this House notes National Epilepsy Week 2026 running from 18 to 24 May; acknowledges the work of Epilepsy Action and other charities on improving outcomes for people with epilepsy and their families; further notes that around 630,000 people in the UK live with epilepsy; also notes that many people with epilepsy experience difficulties accessing timely and appropriate health services; notes that people with epilepsy continue to face significant barriers to participation in work, with only 44% of adults with epilepsy in employment; highlights that women with epilepsy face increased risks of complications and mortality during pregnancy and the postnatal period, with around one in three experiencing an increase in seizures during pregnancy; and therefore calls on Governments across the UK to increase awareness of epilepsy, improve access to healthcare and employment support, and address health inequalities faced by people living with the condition.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Sherlock on 6 February (HL14003 and HL14004), what plans they have to invite to the Operational Stakeholder Engagement Forum a civilian charity that assists amputees.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Sherlock on 6 February (HL14003 and HL14004), what plans they have to invite to the Operational Stakeholder Engagement Forum a civilian charity that assists amputees.
As part of the Operational Stakeholder Engagement Forum (OSEF), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) maintains a diverse membership that includes organisations supporting people with a range of disabilities, including amputees. We continually review representation to identify and address any gaps and welcome approaches from organisations that align with our Terms of Reference. We also engage a broader range of stakeholders beyond the OSEF portfolio through insight workshops and one-to-one sessions to support the development of DWP services.
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with amputee charities regarding helping amputees into work.
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with amputee charities regarding helping amputees into work.
Good work is good for health, so we want everyone to get work and get on in work, including amputees, whoever they are and wherever they live. Backed by £240 million investment, the Get Britain Working White Paper launched in November 2024 is driving forward approaches to tackling economic inactivity.
Blesma, the veterans’ limbless charity, are members of the Operational Stakeholder Engagement Forum and have been members of a Universal Credit stakeholder forum and the Health Transformation Forum.
Disabled people are a diverse group so access to the right work and health support, in the right place, at the right time, is key. We therefore have a range of specialist initiatives to support individuals to stay in work and get back into work, including those that join up employment and health systems.
Existing measures include support from Work Coaches and Disability Employment Advisers (DEAs) in Jobcentres and Access to Work grants, as well as joining up health and employment support around the individual through Employment Advisors in NHS Talking Therapies, Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care and WorkWell. We are also rolling out Connect to Work, our supported employment programme for anyone who is disabled, has a health condition or is experiencing more complex barriers to work.
We set out our plan for the “Pathways to Work Guarantee” in our Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper, and are building towards our guaranteed offer of personalised work, health and skills support for disabled people and people with health conditions on out of work benefits. The guarantee is backed by £1 billion a year of new, additional funding by the end of the decade. We anticipate the guarantee, once fully rolled out, will include: a support conversation to identify next steps, one-to-one caseworker support, periodic engagement, and an offer of specialist long-term work health and skills support.
Additionally, we have developed a digital information service for employers, oversees the Disability Confident Scheme, and continues to increase access to Occupational Health.
The 10 Year Health Plan, published in July, builds on existing work to better integrate health with employment support and incentivise greater cross-system collaboration, recognising good work is good for health. The Plan also states the Government’s intention to break down barriers to opportunity by delivering the holistic support that people need to access and thrive in employment by ensuring a better health service for everyone, regardless of condition or service area. It outlines how the neighbourhood health service will join up support from across the work, health and skills systems to help address the multiple complex challenges that often stop people finding and staying in work.

The Government recognises the important role charities play in our society and has made it a priority to reset the relationship with civil society by developing the Civil Society Covenant.
A Tax Information and Impact Note (TIIN) was published alongside the introduction of the Bill containing the changes to employer National Insurance contributions. The TIIN set out the impact of the policy on the exchequer, the economic impacts of the policy, and the impacts on individuals, businesses, civil society organisations, as well as an overview of the equality impacts.
The Office for Budget Responsibility also published the Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO), which set out a detailed forecast of the economy and public finances.

The Department has made no assessment of the potential merits of offering guidance or funding support for charities who are assisting refugees with medical qualifications into the National Health Service.
Many regulators, royal colleges, and other organisations provide support or prioritise services for refugees, including some flexibility in the information that candidates need to provide for employment checks.
The Minister has a capital budget and revenue budgets. We are talking about a small amount of money—£4 million or £5 million—so will he consider switching £4 million or £5 million from the capital budget to the revenue budget? Opening up that opportunity would have merit, and would help these...

I rise on behalf of the official Opposition in support of Lords amendments 1 to 4, 8, 10, 14 and 21.
