'Welfare to Work' Plus 'Potholed Road to Recovery'
The Government's Welfare to Work green paper, 'No one Written Off', is in a period of consultation. We have pulled together links and basic information to help those people interested in engaging with the discussion. Also attached is Mike Ashton's paper 'Potholed to Recovery':
'Recovery also provides a benevolent rationale for an entirely non-medical imperative -- to save money by getting patients out of treatment, off welfare benefits, back to work, and paying taxes. In the credit crunch era, Britain can no longer afford for people not to recover. Where a few months ago retention remained the yardstick of effective treatment, now the new aim is to get rid of the patients we can no longer afford to retain.' - Mike Ashton
