- This follows government바카라 사이트檚 first ever Men바카라 사이트檚 Health Summit held in partnership with Movember, co-hosted by Arsenal and Premier League聽
The government is today (24 April 2025) calling for men of all ages to come forward and feed into England바카라 사이트檚 first ever men바카라 사이트檚 health strategy.
The 12-week call for evidence will gather vital insights from the public, health and social care professionals, academics and employers so the government can properly consider how to prevent and tackle the biggest issues facing men from all backgrounds. 聽
It will ask for their views on what is working and what more needs to be done to close the life expectancy gap between men and women, as men in England die nearly 4 years earlier than women, on average.聽
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said:聽
Every day, men across England are dying early from preventable causes. Men are hit harder by a range of conditions, while tragically suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50.聽
Our聽Plan for Change means聽we will tackle these issues head on through a men바카라 사이트檚 health strategy, and聽today바카라 사이트檚 call for evidence is the crucial next step in understanding what works, what doesn바카라 사이트檛, and how we can design services men will actually use.聽I urge people to come forward to share their views.
The call for evidence will聽seek responses on how the government바카라 사이트檚 Plan for Change聽can work across the聽board to improve the health and wellbeing of men, through:聽
- prevention - finding the right areas and the right ways to promote healthier behaviours聽聽
- diagnosis and treatment - improving outcomes for health conditions that hit men聽harder
- encouragement to come forward - improving men바카라 사이트檚 access to, engagement with and experience of the health service
This government is committed to fixing the NHS and getting a grip on the stark health inequalities that exist across the country through the Plan for Change, which will rebuild the health service and deliver better care for everyone. With a clearer, more tailored approach for both men and women, their distinct health needs will be met better.
In women바카라 사이트檚 health, we바카라 사이트檙e turning the commitments in the women바카라 사이트檚 health strategy into tangible actions - taking urgent action to tackle gynaecology waiting lists through the , investing in a major AI breast cancer screening trial, and implementing key priority areas outlined in our strategy - alongside taking wider government action to tackle violence against women and girls.
Amy O바카라 사이트機onnor, Global Lead, Policy and Advocacy at Movember, said:
Too many men are dying too young. The men바카라 사이트檚 health strategy is a once in a generation opportunity to invest in positive change for men and their loved ones. Share your solutions - whether it바카라 사이트檚 more community support groups, improved education or enhancing clinical training, to create a lasting impact on the future of men바카라 사이트檚 health.
Julie Bentley, Samaritans CEO, said:
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 so it바카라 사이트檚 critical that suicide prevention is front and centre of this strategy.聽With men making up 75% of all suicides, this strategy is a real opportunity to prevent thousands of deaths.聽聽
Recognising what works for different groups of men, focusing on key risk factors and providing evidenced based support will be crucial and we바카라 사이트檇 encourage everyone to submit evidence to this important consultation. We look forward to working with government on meaningful ways to cut suicide rates and save lives.
Councillor David Fothergill, Chairman of the Local 바카라 사이트 Association바카라 사이트檚 Community Wellbeing Board, said:聽
We are pleased that the government has announced plans to launch the first-ever聽men바카라 사이트檚 health strategy with a call for evidence. It바카라 사이트檚 a significant step towards improving men바카라 사이트檚 health outcomes and ensuring that men can live healthier, longer, happier lives.
The call for evidence will be open for views on the Department of Health and Social Care website until 17 July 2025. The government aims to launch the men바카라 사이트檚 health strategy later this year.聽
