Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to include a) gyms, b) swimming pools, and c) leisure centres in the Men’s Health Strategy and 10 Year Plan.

Both the Men’s Health Strategy and the 10-Year Health Plan commit to cross sector action to reduce physical inactivity. Addressing physical inactivity and getting people moving more is important for improving health outcomes, reducing demand on the National Health Service, and supporting economic growth. The Government recognises the important role that gyms, swimming pools, and leisure centres play in providing affordable and accessible opportunities for people to increase their physical activity levels.
