Primary Care: Men
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to encourage earlier engagement with primary healthcare among men to improve early diagnosis rates.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
We are developing a Men's Health Strategy which will seek to improve the health and wellbeing of all men in England, and which will be informed by a call for evidence. This includes finding the right ways to promote healthier behaviours, improving outcomes for health conditions that hit men harder, and improving engagement with healthcare. The call for evidence closed on 17 July 2025. The responses are informing the development of the strategy.
