Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease in the last year for which figures are available.

The Department does not hold information in the format requested. The cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention audit provides a count of the number of people with a general practice record of CVD. This information is available publicly at the following link:
