Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department is taking steps to include the charity sector in the process of designing musculoskeletal health and wellbeing hubs.

In the Spring Budget, the Government set out a package of measures to tackle the leading health-related causes keeping people out of work, which includes scaling up musculoskeletal community hubs. As part of designing this pilot, we are working closely with NHS England, local authorities, the leisure sector and the charity sector.
