<p>Sporting Future - Second Annual Report published in January confirmed that government
is establishing an Inter-Ministerial Group on Healthy Living, to be co-chaired by
the Secretaries of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and Health and Social
Care, which will bring together a range of departments to consider how sport and physical
activity could be made more widely accessible, so that they benefit everyone. The
Group will be meeting for the first time in early 2018. Although the initial focus
of the Group will be on sport and physical activity over time we expect this to broaden
to explore how it can add value to the health inequalities agenda more widely.</p><p>
</p><p>The government’s sport strategy Sporting Future published in December 2015
recognised the impact that sport and physical activity has on mental health. We are
continuing to work with sport and mental health organisations to promote the benefits
of physical activity on mental health to people of all ages and backgrounds.</p><p>
