This report describes the impact of Pathways to Work (Pathways) on those aged between 18 and 24 at the start of their claim for Incapacity Benefit (IB). The figures are based on analysis of administrative data and consider the impact of Pathways on claims for IB and Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). The report comprises a number of tables and graphs which illustrate differences in the impact of Pathways on: receipt of IB among the under 25s, by gender; receipt of JSA among the under 25s, by gender; receipt of IB among the under 25s, by nature of health condition; receipt of JSA by the under 25s by mental health condition. It concludes that pathways reduced IB among the under 25s in the early months after the start of their claim for IB. The impact of Pathways was not found to vary by gender. Pathways had a stronger impact on reducing IB receipt by those with a mental health condition than for those with other types of health problems.

Currently much mental health care is not organised to be responsive to gender differences and women's needs consequently may be poorly met. This consultation document outlines specific issues for women’s mental health, including the links between poverty, child sexual abuse, domestic violence and the impact of caring and mothering on mental health. It describes the development of gender sensitivity in the delivery of mental health care for women, in particular secure care and community day services, areas.
