This madness:

Wes Streeting is going to set the NHS in England targets for getting people back to work - this is going to distort behaviour in the health service, and of course requires the NHS to work to a data point (employment) over which they have absolutely no influence.

It might look good in terms of spreadsheet policy making but will be at best a diversion and at worse a major problem for both patients & health service staff.

Misguided & wrong-headed!

Not only a data point over which they have no influence, but likely a data point which they do not routinely collect
