Men’s Health Week 2025 (No. 2)

That this House marks the end of Men’s Health Week 2025 and recognises the continuing crisis in men’s mental health; notes with concern that suicide is the leading cause of death among men under 50, with rates highest among those in middle age; welcomes the Government’s commitment to a men’s health strategy and urges the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to make suicide prevention a central focus; recognises the importance of increasing capacity and coordination across mental health services to end out-of-area placements, expanding support for young people up to the age of 25, and removing prescription charges for those with chronic mental health conditions; and commends the vital work of Highlands-based charities including Lochaber Hope, Ewan’s Room and Centred in supporting men’s mental health across the region.
