157 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will introduce plans for the development of the national programme for men's health. [19475/00]
The National Health Promotion Strategy, 2000-2005 published in July this year sets out a broad policy framework for the development of health promotion. The strategy contains a number of strategic aims and objectives and calls for the development of a national plan for men's health. It is hoped to commence work on this plan in association with the relevant stakeholders as soon as possible.
