Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. The question comes on the back of some positive collaborative work being done in my constituency by a group of men's social and health groups in our community that come together through the East Belfast Community Development Agency (EBCDA). In light of the concerns that the Minister has raised about the higher rates of preventable illness, mental health challenges and premature mortality among men, will he outline what actions his Department is taking to address health inequalities among men?
