This report assesses the Condition Management Programme (CMP), which is a voluntary element of the Pathways to Work pilot introduced in October 2003, which aims to increase the number of Incapacity Benefit recipients who move towards work. The CMP aims to tackle deep-seated barriers to work such as anxiety and lack of confidence. Widely varying models of delivery have been adopted to deliver the CMP, including in-house, full or partly contracted out, condition-specific or generic, and involving one or more Primary Care Trusts. The report presents an analysis of implementing and delivering this new provision, including working with people claiming Incapacity Benefit, and in developing relationships with Jobcentre Plus and other local agencies. The report includes a discussion of the lessons learned, and advice for those areas which are starting to develop CMP provision, as following a phased roll-out, the pilot provision will apply in a third of the UK by October 2006.
