    https://archive.ph/xl8qC for those who want to read the article. It says more or less exactly what the headline claims, though.

    With long term sickness a driving force behind the rise in people locked out the labour market, a focus of the upcoming statement will be to ensure fewer people are signed off and fall out of the workforce.

    The assumption here is that those people don’t need to be off work, and are simply having trouble getting approval to return to work. I find that not only disingenuous, but also offensive. Typical Tory, IOW.
