Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Health White Paper.


Public Health White Paper

We will publish a consultation on the outcomes framework soon, but smoking cessation and the absence of initiation into smoking are clearly very important. Smoking is still the single largest avoidable cause of early mortality, and we must try to reduce further the prevalence of smoking. It has not been reduced in the last couple of years, and we need to reduce it.
