A study is underway to follow-up those respondents to the 2010 Labour Force Survey who reported suffering from work-related ill health. Those who reported a work-related ill health condition have been asked for permission to participate in further research including getting additional information on their condition and it's attribution to work.
One element of the study will also be to correlate the self-reported information with that provided by the respondents GPs. The aim of the study is to get a better understanding of self-reported work-related ill health and the contribution that work makes to ill health. We expect to have results from the study available in spring 2012.
