On 17 February, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, announced a review of sickness absence provisions to explore what can be done to help more people stay in work and examine whether the balance of costs are shared appropriately between individuals, employers and the State.

The review will look at short-term sickness absence, where costs are borne by employers, and longer-term absence that is supported by Employment and Support Allowance.  The review is jointly sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS), and will involve a panel of experts from business, trade unions and health representatives.
