To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help tackle air pollution.
Ashley Dalton
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental harms to public health. Our 10-Year Health Plan (10YHP) for England sets out how the Government plans to improve the health of the nation, including a focus on prevention of ill health. The plan sets out cross-Government action to tackle air pollution. This includes a review of the Environmental Improvement Plan, which will set out measures to reduce emissions and everyone’s exposure to air pollution.
