Mr. Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the timetable is for the National Institute for Clinical Excellence's work programme to support the aims of the public health White Paper, "Choosing Health", as described in paragraph 28, page 41, of the Choosing Activity physical activity action plan published on 9 March. [222824] Miss Melanie Johnson: A number of guidance topics were referred to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) on 5 April 2005, including topics in support of public health interventions and programmes pursuant to the aims of "Choosing health--Making healthier choices easier". This referral included six public health guidance topics: An assessment of four commonly used methods to increase physical activity: brief interventions in primary care, pedometers, exercise referral schemes and community based exercise programmes for walking and cycling. An assessment of interventions (including screening) to reduce the transmission of Chlamydia and other sexually transmitted infections and to reduce the rate of under 18 conceptions, especially among vulnerable and at risk groups. An assessment of brief interventions and referral for smoking cessation in primary care (including pharmacy and dental services as well as general practitioner's surgeries) and other settings with particular reference to pregnant smokers and disadvantaged groups and the tailoring and targeting of interventions. Guidance on the optimal provision of smoking cessation services including the provision of nicotine replacement therapy, for primary care, pharmacies, local authorities and workplaces with particular reference to manual groups, pregnant smokers and hard to reach communities. Guidance for midwives, health visitors, pharmacists and other primary care services to improve the nutrition of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and children in low income households. The most appropriate means of generic and specific interventions to support attitude and behaviour change at population and community levels. NICE has already been commissioned to produce guidelines on the management and prevention of obesity.

Iain Wright: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) what plans she has to expand access to sports and fitness services for young people on low incomes; [218796] (2) what plans she has to expand access to sports and fitness services for elderly people on low incomes; [218797] (3) what plans she has to expand access to sports and fitness services for disabled people on low incomes. [218798] Mr. Caborn: My Department has a Public Service Agreement target to increase, by 2008, the take-up of cultural and sporting opportunities by people aged 16 and above from priority groups. The Department's Funding Agreement with Sport England sets a target to increase the proportion of the population engaged in regular physical activity by 1 per cent. per annum, and focuses on developing participation among specific sections of the population, including young people and the most economically disadvantaged groups in society. The Equality Standard for Sport, launched last year, is a framework to guide sports and community organisations towards achieving equality. Its aim is to widen access and increase the participation and involvement in sport and physical activity from under- represented individuals, groups, and communities. It will assist organisations in developing structures and processes, assessing performance, and ensuring continuous improvement in equality. Progress through The Standard is a mandatory condition within the national funding agreements involving Sport England, National Governing Bodies of Sport, and national and regional sports organisations in England.
