§ 21. Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what proposals he has to improve the quality of health care in Camden and Islington. [98946]
§ Mr. DenhamThe Camden and Islington Health Action Zone will aim to tackle the root causes of ill health by addressing early life experience, social isolation and addiction. It will also work to improve services for key client groups such as older people and people with mental health needs. So far almost £8 million has been made available to Camden and Islington HAZ.
My hon. Friend the Minister of State recently visited The New River Green Family Project (part of Camden and Islington HAZ), which is seen as a pilot project for the development of community based family support work within a defined geographical area. It will provide a practical learning experience for all those involved.
