The government has launched a call for evidence for the first ever men’s health strategy, with the aim of closing the life expectancy gap.

The Department of Health and Social Care has opened the 12-week call for evidence togather insights from the public, health and social care professionals, academics and employers to assess how to prevent and tackle the biggest health issues facing men from all backgrounds.
