GPs will no longer give out sick notes with workers told to do more exercise, take up gardening or see a job coach instead in trial designed to cut benefit claims and keep people in work

GPs will no longer give out sick notes in a trial designed to cut benefit claims and keep people in work, instead workers will be told to do more exercise or take up gardening, and may see a job coach. The goal is to reduce benefit claims and keep individuals employed. This approach aims to promote health and productivity.
