Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will prioritise cardiovascular care in the Government’s forthcoming delivery plan on tackling the elective surgery backlog.
The elective recovery plan, due to be published before the end of this year, will set out the Government’s long-term ambitions for recovery. Prioritisation of services will continue on the basis of clinical need, followed by the length of waiting time.
