Public Health: Urban Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the health impact of high street regeneration.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The design of places where people live, work, and play have a significant role in shaping physical and mental health and wellbeing. Departmental minsters meet with Government colleagues to discuss cross-Government efforts to improve the public’s health, including the impact of the local built and natural environment on health. For example, ministers at the Department of Health and Social Care have met with ministers at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to specifically discuss the relationship between health, towns and planning.
