Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Stephenson and Chris Green

Tuesday 23rd January 2024 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Stephenson]

The NHS long-term plan commits to a number of key ambitions to improve care and outcomes for individuals suffering from cardiovascular disease, including enhanced diagnostic support in the community, better personalised planning, and increasing access to cardiac rehabilitation. Those ambitions will support the delivery of the aim to prevent 150,000 heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases by 2029.
