"This report presents findings from a module within the Office of National Statistics (ONS) Opinion Omnibus Survey that focussed on collecting data on the attitudes of the working-age population towards the relationship between work and health. The final set of questions covered several areas including:
- Perceptions about the importance of work to health.
- Attitudes towards going to work under various hypothetical health conditions where respondents were asked to imagine they had short-term or long-term health conditions.
- Perceptions of the roles of general practitioners (GPs) and employers in helping to manage long-term conditions and providing support to carry on working.
- Self-reported behaviours.
- Perceptions of the behaviour of others.

As well as supporting the Government's agenda on Health and Well-being, this research provides evidence that will be of interest to policy makers, employers and individuals involved in Health and Well-being initiatives."
