Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to incorporate into the Quality and Outcomes Framework for 2018–19 the NICE indicator for annually reviewing patients with atrial fibrillation who are treated with an anticoagulant.
A review of the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) is currently being undertaken by NHS England. As part of this NHS England is considering the indicators in the current QOF and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence indicator set including atrial fibrillation.
