Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in regard to the report by the Vascular and Venous Disease All-Party Parliamentary Group, the Association of British HealthTech Industries and the Royal College of Podiatry, Making the case for reform in the vascular sector, published on 17 March, what consideration they have given to incorporating the recommendations of the report into the development of the modern service framework.

As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we will publish a new cardiovascular disease Modern Service Framework (CVD MSF) in Spring. The CVD MSF will prioritise ambitious, evidence-led and clinically informed approaches to prevention, treatment, and care, supporting consistent and equitable access across the CVD pathway.

We welcome the report of the Vascular and Venous Disease All-Party Parliamentary Group. The Department and NHS England have engaged widely with stakeholders, such as the Stroke Association and Heart UK, to co-produce the CVD MSF and ensure we consider the role of emerging innovations across the CVD pathway.
