Health and Care Bill

Proceeding contribution from Catherine West (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Health and Care Bill.

The Minister is being generous in allowing interventions. Is the Bill silent on the challenge around prescriptions for exercise? In an earlier intervention, I mentioned the impact of school swimming. Unfortunately, we are going backwards: fewer 11-year-olds can swim 25 metres—that is just an example. On childhood obesity, we need to address both: not just diet, but exercise.
