People with Mental Health Problems to be employed in UK

Source: BBC News Health
A new development in the UK seeks a help for people with Mental issues to be employed. A Pilot has been rolled out which will run for six (6) Months in order to ascertain the best possible way to run the project. However, the Government of UK had stressed that this is not a means to in any way force anybody with mental health problems to seek for help, meaning that is is an opportunity purported for those with Mental health problems to tab into and benefit.
Here are some extract of the Story:
The government has launched four pilot schemes to help unemployed people with mental health problems find work.
The voluntary scheme will see some people on Employment and Support Allowance being offered employment support and psychiatric help.
The £2m pilots, all in England, will run for six months.
Ministers say they are not a precursor to forcing unemployed people with mental health problems to seek help in order to keep their benefits.
Last month, the Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies, said that mental health problems are costing the economy up to £100bn per annum.
Nearly half of ESA claimants (46%) have mental health problems.
The pilots are running in
Durham & Tees Valley
Shropshire/Telford
Sussex
Wolverhampton
