Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has confirmed the proposed themes for cardiac networks in England; and if he will make a statement.

A national cardiovascular programme has been established supported by the development of local cardiac networks. These networks take an evidenced-based approach to improvement, from prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation through to end of life care. Cardiac networks have been asked to prioritise supporting their local systems to offer blood pressure checks at existing appointments including vaccine centres, pharmacies, as well as remote monitoring.
