Those experiencing anxiety and stress as they search for work are to be helped by a government health scheme.

Health secretary Alan Johnson and work and pensions secretary James Purnell stated that a new network of employment support staff is to be created, while greater access to talking therapies will be provided.

Mr Johnson commented: "If someone is feeling down after losing their job, then the best solution is a new job and we're helping people to find them wherever possible."

He went on to say that those who are overly stressed can find this is a barrier to seeking employment and added that those who are in this position should be in no doubt about where to turn.
