““Choosing Health””

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 12 December 2006, Official Report, column 1025W, on choosing health, whether any health champions will be recruited; what partners in establishing networks of champions have been approached; when the first annual awards for champions will be made; and in what form.
Answer

The concept of a health champion described in the ““Choosing Health”” White Paper is being implemented through other programmes, such as health trainers and communities for health. These programmes are identifying, developing, and in the case of health trainers, recruiting individuals who are championing health in their communities. We are exploring ways to recognise and celebrate those championing health through existing national award schemes.
