Government Launches Men's Health Strategy on International Men's Day
The strategy addresses men’s poorer health, investing £3.6 million in suicide prevention and partnering with the Premier League to reduce stigma and improve support.
- England unveiled its first Men's Health Strategy on International Men's Day, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting saying, 'This strategy marks a turning point- the first time we're taking comprehensive, coordinated action to address the health challenges facing men and boys.'
- Men in England face nearly four years shorter life expectancy than women and higher risk behaviors, following a 12-week public survey earlier this year with health experts, employers and academics.
- The strategy pledges £3.6 million for suicide prevention, £3 million for community programmes, a £200,000 trial of brief interventions, and expands support to 900,000 pupils.
- A stakeholder group will oversee implementation to ensure accountability, workplace pilots with EDF will target male-dominated industries, and Hertford and Stortford MP Josh Dean pledged to press for delivery in local communities.
- Plans include at-home PSA testing from 2027, NHS App expansion, an NHS 'HealthStore', virtual hospital pathways, research funding, and respiratory support for former miners.
