Health: Leicester East
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she plans to take to help reduce health inequalities in Leicester East constituency.
- Answer
-
In January 2023, we announced our plan to publish the Major Conditions Strategy which will emphasise the importance of working with local areas to address regional disparities in health outcomes and support the levelling up mission to narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy by 2030.
This strategy will explore how we can tackle the key drivers of ill-health in England to improve healthy life expectancy, as well as reduce pressure on the National Health Service and reduce ill-health related labour market inactivity. Our approach will continue to focus on supporting people to live healthier lives, helping the NHS and social care to provide the best treatment and care for patients and tackling health disparities through national and system interventions such as the NHS’s Core20PLUS5 programme.
