Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What steps he is taking to improve (a) health outcomes and (b) early diagnosis for people with aortic dissections.
In March 2022, NHS England launched an Aortic Dissection Toolkit to support the implementation of robust clinical pathways to identify and manage both Type A and Type B aortic dissection.
