Asked by: Lord Bird (Crossbench - Life peer)
Friday 11th July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have plans for the expansion of Marmot Places throughout the United Kingdom.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is committed to addressing the United Kingdom’s stark health inequalities by tackling the social determinants of health, which includes halving the gap in healthy life expectancy between the richest and poorest regions in England.

We therefore welcome the ongoing initiative shown by local areas towards this end, including by those seeking designation as Marmot Places, with support from the Institute of Health Equity. However, this is a matter for local decision making and collaboration between the relevant partner agencies.

Arrangements in relation to support for Marmot Places in the rest of the UK are a matter for the respective devolved administrations.
