IHPN responds to Sir Charlie Mayfield's "Keep Britain Working" review

Responding to the publication of Sir Charlie Mayfield’s independent “Keep Britain Working” review, David Hare, Chief Executive of the Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN), said:

“This important new report makes crystal clear the need for Government and businesses to work together and make improving workplace health a top priority.

“Independent healthcare providers have a key role to play in supporting the health of the workforce, including through the delivery of much-needed occupational health services, as well as vital treatment funded by private medical insurance which is now offered by record numbers of employers.

“We look forward to continuing our work with the Government on this important agenda – helping to build up a sustainable market for occupational health services, along with the sector’s involvement in the rollout of employer- led “Vanguards” which will be integral to building the evidence base for “what works”  in reducing the rates of economic activity and improve the health of the workforce”.
