Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, who the members are of the Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework Task and Finish Group.

There are two appointed co-chairs to the Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework (CVD MSF) Task and Finish Group, namely Dr. Jessica Randall-Carrick and Sir Andrew Goddard.

The membership of the group comprises of a wide range of representatives from 31 stakeholder organisations, including, charities, professional bodies, patient, and public voices, the Department, and NHS England, related to cardiovascular disease and associated conditions.

The Department and NHS England are engaging widely with stakeholders to co-produce the CVD MSF, ensuring that experts, people, and communities are at the heart of its development.

The CVD MSF will be published later this year and will support consistent, high quality, and equitable care whilst fostering innovation across the cardiovascular disease pathway.
