Former Cabinet minister Lord Young has been appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron to undertake a review of the operation of health and safety and the growth of the 'compensation culture'.

The UK Rehabilitation Council has recently submitted its views on Health and Safety and the compensation culture to the Cabinet Office. A copy of this submission can be downloaded below. To read more about the Young Review, click here.
