Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help encourage more physical exercise.

The Department is working with other Government departments, the National Health Service and local government to ensure more people can lead more active lives, including participation in sport and leisure and access to active travel. The Department’s Better Health social marketing campaigns, such as ‘Couch to 5k’, ‘Active 10’ and the ‘10 Minute Shake Up’ provides the tools for adults and children and their families to access the physical and mental health benefits of physical activity.
