'Dept of Health have forgotten men's health'

The Men's Health Forum, who run the malehealth site, have today hit out at the Marmot Review, the Department of Health's strategic review of health inequalities, because it fails to mention men's health at all.

MHF CEO Peter Baker says: 'Our main concern is that gender health inequalities are barely mentioned in the papers published recently as part of the consultation process. Where gender is mentioned, it appears solely as an issue for women. Men's health appears to be consistently overlooked.'

The Forum is calling on its supporters to back their campaign to get gender back on the agenda.

The full story is on the MHF website. Let us know what you think.
