I have to say that having had a very quick look through the document I was
somewhat disappointed at how little attention seemed to be paid to workplace
induced ill health. Given that this represents an enormous cost to the
country, that much of it is avoidable and that there is - in theory at least
- a system already in place (Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and
subsequent regulations) to manage this my reaction is that there has been a
lost opportunity to develop a more effective an proactive approach to
keeping the workforce healthy.
