HEALTH AND SOCIAL WELFARE

HEALTH AND SOCIAL WELFARE single
A healthier London is a fairer and stronger London. This manifesto is committed to improving mental health support, tackling addiction, promoting healthier lifestyles and reducing inequalities in access to care and opportunity. We will support vulnerable people, strengthen our healthcare workforce and ensure that compassion, dignity and wellbeing remain at the heart of public policy.
Our commitments:
Ban frivolous prescriptions of Ozempic and other weight loss medications (not for underlying medical conditions).
Provide more accessible therapy and mental health treatment for alcoholism and addiction (legally recognised as a disease).
All unsold supermarket food (expiry day) to be available to the homeless first-come, first-served.
Crack down on Universal Credit and extended benefits for able-bodied people.
Open free gyms across London to tackle obesity (currently at 21%).
Ban all shops that exclusively sell vapes, or vape-related products.
Bridge the health and wealth disparity between white and black Londoners.
Review and improve NHS worker pay and restore pension values.

Health is the foundation of opportunity. By investing in prevention, supporting recovery and reducing inequality, we can build a London where every person has the chance to live a healthier, longer and more dignified life.
