McGovern announces ‘biggest change’ to employment aid

Employment minister Alison McGovern has said that the government is announcing the "biggest change to employment help in a generation." Areas with the highest rates of unemployment are set to receive additional NHS support as part of the Government's effort to revitalise employment across the UK.

During the election, Labour promised to increase the employment rate to 80% from its current level of around 75%, which would mean around two million more people in work.
