Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what action they are taking to integrate family history data into risk assessments for cardiovascular disease.

As outlined in the 10-Year Health Plan, we will work with experts to integrate genomic testing for pharmacogenomic profiles into the cardiovascular disease prevention programme, the NHS Health Check, enabling early identification and intervention for high-risk individuals.

Alongside this, to accelerate progress on the ambition to reduce premature mortality from heart disease and stroke by 25% within a decade, we will publish a cardiovascular disease Modern Service Framework (CVD MSF) later this year. The framework will support consistent, high quality and equitable care whist fostering innovation across the cardiovascular disease pathway. The Department and NHS England are engaging widely with stakeholders to co-produce the CVD MSF, ensuring that experts, people, and communities are at the heart of its development.
