Health Services: Men

Asked by Adam JogeeLabourDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 18 November 2024UIN 13870

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to help improve men's health; and if he will use the upcoming Men's Health summit to commission a new men's health strategy consultation.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

The Government's mission is getting the National Health Service back on its feet, so that it is there for everyone. The Government looks forward to its discussions with everyone interested in men’s health, to hear views and ideas on how to improve outcomes for men. We are developing a 10-Year Health Plan so that we are better able to meet the needs of the population, including men.

The forthcoming men’s health summit will help inform the Department on future actions.
