UK Government launches call for evidence to inform Men’s Health Strategy for England 

The UK Government has launched a 12 week call for evidence to inform England’s first ever Men’s Health Strategy. 

Men of all ages and backgrounds are being urged to contribute their insights, along with health and social care professionals, academics, employers and stakeholder organisations. 

The call for evidence asks for participants views on what is working and what more needs to be done to close the life expectancy gap between men and women (men in England die, on average, nearly 4 years earlier than women). 

The call for evidence runs from 24 April 2025 to 11:59pm on 17 July 2025. The UK Government aims to launch the Men’s Health Strategy later this year.
