GPS told to prescribe gyms sessions and agreements from the work center to get Sicknote Groot -Britain back to work

GPS is told to stop signing sick letters and instead to send patients to the gym or to send a track center in an attempt to tackle the Sicknote epidemic.

Wes Streeting laid the scale of the sick culture of Great Britain and said: ‘We just can’t afford to keep writing people.

“About 2.8 million people have unemployed because of the health problems – this is bad for patients, bad for the NHS and bad for the economy.”

The health secretary has launched a government pilot to get people back to work with much of the bureaucracy that needs to be done by doctors.

According to the new schedule, GPS gets financing to gain access to support, instead of just signing them, after a maximum of 1.6 million sick notes have been distributed without a patient having to see a doctor personally last year.

In total, the NHS spent more than 11 million ‘fit notes’ – who assess the assets of a people to work – with 93 percent of these explanatory patients who are not suitable for work’ without a plan to help them find back to find a job in the future.

Currently, employees can certify absence for a maximum of seven days themselves, but for more than this they need a fitnut to receive a disease wage.

Now family doctors are responsible for working with employment coaches and occupational therapists in prescribing sick notes, in the hope that this will help patients to acquire the skills needed to get back to work.

Patients will also be referred to gyms and garden classes in an attempt to tackle the ongoing obesity crisis that canceled millions of work due to obesity-related diseases.

Mr. Streeting said: ‘This pilot marks the end of a broken system that fails failing patients and stops our economy for far too long.

“We currently spend 11 million fit notes a year – that is not health care, that is a bureaucratically dead -end road.”

It is hoped that supplementing medical care with social prescribers and work coaches that can help navigate people back to work and help with the application process, the ‘eye-watery’ tax on taxpayers will alleviate.

“This is all part of our plan for change to start a system that manages disease to a system that promotes health work and prosperity,” the health secretary added.

According to a damn government study that propagates the new Wortwell Primary Care schedule, more than a third of people have been reported that it is easy to get a sick tone, “even if they are not really needed.”

Health workers added that it was less time -consuming to approve an application with complaints from patients who create hours of unnecessary work, which exerted pressure on already stretched services.

Some health workers said they thought that most ‘inappropriate’ fitnuts that probably related to people who claim psychological problems.

Health secretary Wes Streeting said: “The sick society we inherited, cost taxpayers eye -watery amounts – we just can’t afford to keep writing people.”

Doctors and patients have spoken about the way in which the Sick Note system is abused

Almost 11 million ‘fit notes’, which assess a person’s assets to work, were published in England in the 12 months to June last year, which suggests that no less than 6.1 million was distributed without a general practitioner or nurse in person

This increase in sick nut culture is accused of suffocating the economy, so that people are sick and even claim welfare payments, even when fit enough to work.

The new schedule, which will distribute £ 100,000 over 15 regions, will offer GPs operations dedicated teams to help patients find a job.

This is part of a broader £ 64 million Wortwell schedule, which aims to measure tailor -made support, such as counseling and personal training for people without work or the risk of leaving.

According to this new schedule, a patient with an ankle squad would be referred to a physio-therapist and receive a membership of a local gym, instead of easily drawing with a rubber stamp.

Ministers say that the new program will support up to 56,000 disabled people and people with health problems by the spring of 2026.

Claire Murdoch, the NHS National Mental Health Director, said Time That the NHS wants to support people who find and work.

She said, “The NHS can and must consider itself a contribution to economic growth.”

There are now almost 11 million economically inactive – those who are not working and are not looking for a job – adults of working age in Great Britain, which emphasizes the scale of the sick culture of the nation.

Of this figure, a record of 2.8 million has been declared unsuitable to work due to long -term illness, half of whom have psychological problems, including fear or depression.
