Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Health Promotion Taskforce will meet before the end of 2022.

An updated Cabinet committee structure has been agreed to deliver the Government’s priorities. The committees can discuss a wide range of policy areas as relevant to the terms of reference. The Health Promotion Taskforce is not included in this updated structure.

However, as set out in ‘Our plan for patients’, we will work with cross-Government partners and the National Health Service to address preventable ill-health. Further information on measures to address health disparities will be available in due course.
