tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL2002
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2022 answer text <p>Improving the health of both men and women is a ministerial priority for the Department. Evidence suggests that men are disproportionately affected by certain conditions, such as ischemic heart disease, are more likely to smoke or engage in other health harming behaviours and are more likely to die by suicide. We have committed to reduce stroke and heart attacks and the forthcoming publication of the new Tobacco Control Plan will target groups where smoking rates are not decreasing, including men. We are also investing in measures to prevent suicide.</p><p>While there are no current plans to make men’s health a specific strand of work, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities aims to improve the health of the population regardless of socio-economic background or gender.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 01/08/2022 11:52:15 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
