Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of access to exercise programmes for children with cystic fibrosis.
Whilst no assessment has been made of the role of programmes run by not-for-profit organisations or the adequacy of access to exercise programmes in improving the wellbeing of children with cystic fibrosis (CF); the Government very much recognises and values the contribution of the voluntary sector in working locally to support local communities.
For example, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has launched Activity Unlimited to help everyone with CF to stay active and take control of their physical health and wellbeing. More information is available at the following link:
