Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will develop a national strategy for reducing health inequalities.
The Government is committed to levelling up the whole country. Every single person deserves to lead a long and healthy life, no matter who they are, where they live or their social circumstances.
The Prevention Green Paper reflected the need to reduce inequalities and to level up and we are considering how best this can be delivered.
