Men's Health Week 2025

Tabled by Sojan Joseph (Labour) 13 signatures

The motion

That this House acknowledges that Men’s Health Week takes place each year in the run up to Father’s Day, and in 2025 is between 9 and 15 June; is concerned that currently one man in five dies before the age of 65; is further concerned that four in five suicides are by men, with suicide being the biggest cause of death for men under 35; notes that too many men ignore health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer until it is too late; recognises that Men’s Health Week is an important opportunity to raise awareness and break stigmas about physical and mental health issues among men of all ages; and encourages men to prioritise their health, seek preventive care, and engage in conversations about their physical and mental wellbeing.
