Written question asked by Anna Gelderd (Labour) on Monday, 6 July 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 8 July 2026. It was answered by Sharon Hodgson (Labour) on Wednesday, 15 July 2026 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.

Disability: Exercise

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that disabled people who are unable to walk outdoors, but who undertake other forms of physical activity, are able to participate in the NHS fitness rewards scheme.

Answer: The national movement campaign committed to in the 10-Year Health Plan, now referred to as Movement 26.2, is still in early development. We will work with a range of stakeholders to ensure that the programme is accessible to all and removes barriers to entry, including those faced by disabled people. Whilst the 'marathon a month' will be a significant feature of the campaign, there will be other elements that engage people with accessibility challenges to ensure the programme is inclusive.
