Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of (a) trends in the number of and (b) outcomes from cardiovascular disease among Sikh people.

The Government is committed to ensuring fewer lives are lost to the biggest killers, including cardiovascular disease. That is why our Health Mission sets an ambition to reduce premature death from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade.

Currently, no assessment has been made on the trends or outcomes of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease among Sikh people, as we do not collect information on religion.
