| 2 | Strong support needed for health and wellbeing initiatives in the workplace reinforced by visible management commitment. |
| 3 | The importance of physical and mental health of working age people is insufficiently recognised in society, there is a need for the Government to launch a national awareness raising campaign. |
| 4 | A need to change the view that people need to be 100% fit in order to be in work and the introduction of a ‘fit note’ which should concentrate on what people can do rather than what they can’t. |
