Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to her Department's publication entitled Major conditions strategy: case for change and our strategic framework published on 14 August 2023, what plans her Department has to align NHS Health Checks with the six major health conditions listed.

A review of the NHS Health Check programme published in 2021 recommended that following delivery of a digital NHS Health Check, consideration should be given to expanding the NHS Health Check to cover other conditions such as musculoskeletal and mental ill-health. We are investing almost £17 million in the development of an innovative new national digital NHS Health Check and once this is rolled out from next spring, we will consider the coverage of the programme and the case for including menopause and conditions highlighted in the Major Conditions Strategy: case for change and our strategic framework.
