tabling member constituency	Ashfield

uin	42294
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>Reducing health inequalities is a priority for this Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Department takes a comprehensive and strategic approach to tackling health inequalities that addresses the wider social causes of ill health, promotes healthier lifestyles for all, tackles differences in both access to, and outcomes from, health and public health services. Action is led locally to ensure that the solutions put in place reflect the needs of individual communities.</p><p> </p><p>Achieving measureable and sustained reductions in health inequalities is integral to the Department’s <em>Shared Delivery Plan 2015-20</em>, and reflected in the Government’s mandate to NHS England, Public Health England’s (PHE’s) <em>Evidence into Action</em> and supporting strategic and business plans at national and local level. NHS England’s Business Plan for 2016/17 prioritises closing the gap for groups experiencing poorer health outcomes, a poorer experience of, and access to, healthcare. PHE is supporting local and national efforts to address health inequalities by providing knowledge and intelligence, and evidence-informed tools and advice.</p><p> </p><p>To support this, the Department has published <em>Improving outcomes and supporting transparency: A public health outcomes framework for England 2013-16. </em>The framework’s vision is to improve and protect the nation’s health and wellbeing, and improve the health of the poorest fastest. It is focused on the two high-level outcomes we want to achieve across the public health system and beyond. The first is increased healthy life expectancy; the second is reduced differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities through greater improvements in more disadvantaged communities.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/07/2016 08:21:14 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans his Department has to review advertising regulations for reduced-harm tobacco products to take account of the potential of those products to help people quit smoking.
tabling member constituency	Newcastle-under-Lyme
tabling member printed	Paul Farrelly
uin	42180
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2016 answer text <p>For the first time, from May 2016, cessation information to signpost consumers to quitting support has become mandatory on tobacco products. The Government’s advice remains that the best thing a smoker can do is to quit and quit for good. Any smokers wanting to quit, with or without the help of products available on the market, are four times more likely to stop smoking and quit for good with the personalised support offered by local stop smoking services.</p><p> </p><p>The National Centre for Stop Smoking Services has issued guidance on offering advice to those wanting to use e-cigarettes as part of their quit attempts and encouraged local stop smoking services to be open to their use.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that some people have found e-cigarettes helpful in quitting smoking and that they are considerably less harmful than continuing to smoke. The forthcoming tobacco control plan will consider the role of e-cigarettes and other harm reduction products in further reducing the prevalence of smoking in England.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has no current plans to review the restrictions on advertising for tobacco products.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 42181 42183 question first answered 12/07/2016 14:54:44 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
