answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2023 answer text <p>The Government encourages adults to focus on walking briskly rather than just counting steps to improve their health.</p><p>The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities’ (OHID) ‘Better Health’ programme offers a number of free, accessible and evidence-based resources to support adults and young people to be more active. This includes the NHS Active 10 app, which encourages adults to incorporate brisk walking into their days to improve their general health and wellbeing without the need for gyms or expensive fitness programmes. The app supports and motivates users to increase and monitor the intensity of their walking, rather than just focus on the distance or number of steps throughout the day. Just 10 minutes of brisk walking a day is an easy way for adults to introduce more moderate intensity physical activity into their day.</p><p>To support more individuals to reach a brisk walking pace and to achieve moderate intensity activity, OHID have just launched a new feature within the NHS Active 10 app, called ‘Pace Checker’. The feature helps walkers to find their brisk walking pace of 100 or more steps per minute, and motivates them to complete more Active 10s every day.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 19/09/2023 12:28:51 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>There are currently 94 elective surgical hubs operational across the National Health Service in England. Of those, 63 have implemented unique data codes which allow for their activity to be measured separately from the wider activity of the hospital trust which runs the hub. As of the week ending 30 July 2023, the most recent available data, these 63 hubs have delivered 10,253 elective procedures and 41,067 outpatient appointments.</p><p>Implementation of the unique site codes for the remaining 31 hubs is ongoing and is expected to be completed by November 2023. The total number of elective procedures and outpatient appointments above is therefore likely to be an underestimate of total activity.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/09/2023 15:53:11 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
