About this episode
The number of people who’ve left the Labour force because of mental and physical ill health is at record levels. It means employers can’t hire the people they need, the country is dependent on immigration and the costs of disability benefits are soaring. Former Labour Health Secretary Alan Milburn has a plan to fix this, which he discusses with Steph and Robert.
