The minister for social exclusion, Jeff Rooker, said that no job should be off limits for people with mental health problems.

"If you don't make work available you're wasting a human and an economic asset. There should be no no-go areas of employment," he said at the launch of the SEU report at the headquarters of communications company BT in London.

"Many people with mental health problems do want to work, yet fewer than a quarter actually do."


Mental health minister, Rosie Winterton, admitted that part of the reason for high unemployment among those with mental health problems had been that healthcare staff did not regard helping them into work as a priority.

But under the government's new strategy, everyone with severe mental health problems will have an employment adviser to reduce the high level of joblessness.




People are not just 'economic commodities' to use a fodder you SHITS!
