Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Prior of Brampton on 13 June 2016 (HL459), whether the National Institute for Health Research project HTA-14/141/01 on screening strategies for atrial fibrillation is still expected to be published in spring 2017.

The researchers involved in National Institute for Health Research project HTA 14/141/01 are currently considering how to disseminate their findings most effectively. As a result, the project findings will not be available in spring 2017. Further information will be available when the publication timeline is clarified.
