Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

This amendment would place a duty on the Secretary of State to promote health improvement and reduce health inequalities. It would ensure that health is taken into account in planning at the most senior level, and the duty to consider health promotion and health inequalities would be engaged in relation to secondary legislation, national planning policy and Written Ministerial Statements.
