achieve a better understanding of sports contribution to improving public health and the prevention, treatment and management of long term conditions;
enable sport and physical activity to be regularly commissioned to meet a wider range of agendas but particularly focusing on reducing health and social care costs;
achieve a reduction in health inequalities
