HC Deb 25 May 1995 vol 260 c770W
Sir Irvine Patnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement outlining her Department's latest initiatives in preventive medicine. [26014]

Mr. Sackville

The Government launched "The Health of the Nation" strategy in July 1992 as a long-term strategy emphasising disease prevention and health promotion. The strategy involves a wide range of partners both within and outside Government. Already, we are seeing results. For 19 of the 24 targets where data are available, movement is in the right direction.
