Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the treatment and care of patients with cardio-renal-metabolic diseases is looked at holistically rather than in isolation; and what assessment they have made of whether multi-disciplinary teams are an effective way of joining up care.

Multi-disciplinary teams are essential to the delivery of holistic care, including for complex conditions such as cardio-renal-metabolic diseases. Multi-disciplinary teams, which enable care to be centred around patients and increasingly delivered in the community rather than in hospital settings, are a key part of delivering the radical shifts set out in the 10-Year Health Plan for England
