	uin	223266
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>There have been recent discussions with Ministerial colleagues in the Department for Transport and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on increasing physical activity, including cycling and walking. Increasing the number of people cycling and walking has public health benefits as well as being good for the transport system as a whole, local economies and social inclusion. To this end, the Government is making significant investments through the cycling and walking investment strategy. The strategy acknowledges that there is good anecdotal evidence that people would be most encouraged to cycle by being able to ride completely away from motor traffic using routes such as greenways. We have also set an aim to double cycling activity, and increase the percentage of children aged five to 10 that usually walk to school to 55% by 2025.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 25/02/2019 17:27:49 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has subsequently commissioned Baroness Dido Harding, working closely with Sir David Behan, to lead a number of programmes to engage with key NHS interests to develop a detailed workforce implementation plan. These programmes will consider detailed proposals to grow the workforce rapidly, including staff working on cancer, consider additional staff and skills required, build a supportive working culture in the NHS and ensure first rate leadership for NHS staff.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 25/02/2019 17:44:29 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
