Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many joint parks and public health strategies have been produced by local authorities since 2016; and whether he plans to make the production of such strategies a statutory duty.
The information requested is not held centrally. We have no plans to make the production of joint parks and public health strategies a statutory duty. It is for local authorities to determine how they can most effectively act to improve the health of their local populations.
