Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans she has to issue a Preliminary Policy Proposition on secondary mitral regurgitation for consultation.

NHS England has received a preliminary policy proposition for Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair of the mitral valve (Percutaneous Mitral Valve Leaflet Repair) for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in Adults. Following a clinical panel consideration, a clinical evidence review has been commissioned. This will inform the basis for a public consultation should it be required.
