Public Health England in partnership with NHS England and Diabetes UK are currently developing proposals for a nationally scaled diabetes prevention programme. This will consider the contribution of public campaigns to raise awareness of the risks of Type 2 diabetes and the lifestyle modifications that can prevent and reduce risk.<\/p>

Promoting and increasing levels of physical activity is a key priority for the Department. This is supported by a well-developed and wide-ranging programme of actions, including:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- The four UK Chief Medical Officers\u2019 recommendations for physical activity published in 2011. These are the first United Kingdom-wide guidelines and are in line with international recommendations. For the first time, the guidelines have included a life course approach and guidelines for sedentary behaviour. I have asked Public Health England to develop a \u20185-a-day\u2019 style message to ensure we improve the effectiveness of these guidelines in public messaging.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- Work with other Government departments to ensure all children and young people have opportunities to be physically active and enjoy sport so, particularly the least active and those not currently engaged with sport. Alongside this the Department is investing almost £222 million in programmes such as the PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools, School Games, and Change4Life Sports Clubs to ensure all children and young people have opportunities to be physically active We are also funding Play England £1 million over a three year period to promote playing outdoors. The project is currently running a pilot in 10 deprived areas to help school children become more active and also reduce sedentary behaviour in adults.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- Investment of £1.2 million in five English cities to deliver a range of interventions to support residents to build walking into their day- to -day lives. Evidence shows that these programmes have been very successful at encouraging older people to become more active. In addition, the Department works closely with the Ramblers/McMillan Cancer Support to promote the nationwide Walking for Health Programme which has a wide participation by older people.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- Work with a range of organisations in the voluntary and private sector as part of the Department\u2019s Public Health Responsibility Deal, to promote physical activity amongst adults and children.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In February 2014, the Government published \u201cMoving More, Living More\u201d (MMLM), a cross-Government campaign to deliver a physical activity legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As part of this, I chair a Ministerial Sub-Group of the Cabinet Committee for Olympic and Paralympic Legacy. The role of the Sub-Group is to take forward the commitments made in MMLM and ensure that relevant Government departments are making a contribution to the physical activity agenda. The Ministerial Sub-Group is supported by an officials\u2019 group which meets monthly and reports to Ministers on progress.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In October 2014, Public Health England published, \u201cEverybody active, every day\u201d<\/em> with full ministerial involvement. Building on \u2018Moving More, Living More\u2019, this framework aims to increase the levels of physical activity in local communities by identifying key areas where more action is needed. The Department is now working with a range of partners to take forward the recommendations of this report, as part of the MMLM programme of work.<\/p> <\/p>"}

Frontline health and social care workers have a duty of care to protect their patients from infection. This includes getting vaccinated against flu. A copy of both documents are attached.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> In September 2014, a letter was sent to the National Health Service and local authorities from the Department of Health, Public Health England and NHS England to seek their support in increasing flu vaccination uptake among front line health and social care workers. On 15 January 2015, the Chief Medical Officer wrote to NHS Medical Directors urging them to continue to vaccinate health care workers and requesting that they consider requiring unvaccinated staff to wear face masks when undertaking direct clinical work with patients to prevent the risk of influenza infection.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The flu fighter campaign, run by NHS Employers provides support to NHS trusts to encourage staff to protect themselves, their patients and their families by having the seasonal flu vaccination. NHS Employers provides advice and guidance on running local healthcare worker vaccination campaigns, as well as posters and other campaign resources.<\/p> <\/p>"}
