HC Deb 08 June 1999 vol 332 c275W
Ms Rosie Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress is being made in implementing the health action zone in the South Yorkshire area. [85022]

Mr. Denham

The South Yorkshire Health Action Zone is making good progress as it has moved into its second year of operation. A detailed range of outcome measures have been agreed for the three main programme areas: improving the health of children and young people: improving heart health in the general population; and enabling those with physical and sensory disabilities in later life to lead more independent lives.
