The New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) is the major employment programme for people on incapacity benefits. It is a voluntary programme that aims to help people with a disability or health condition move into sustained employment. Over 65 job brokers, who are a mix of public, private and voluntary sector organisations, have delivered the programme. As part of a comprehensive evaluation, the survey of the eligible population has been conducted to obtain information about people who were eligible and invited to take part in NDDP. The survey aims to establish the characteristics of this population, their work aspirations and their awareness of, attitudes to and involvement with NDDP.

2nd in a series of 3 papers. Concludes that state benefits must remain the major source of provision for contingencies such as unemployment, incapacity and disability, and that there is at present little scope for any substantial involvement from the private sector, except possibly in the area of mortgage insurance. The other main growth area is in private pensions, and the report focuses on the possible future balance between state and private provision.
