Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when the updated NICE guidelines on the diagnosis and management of peripheral arterial disease will be published.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of peripheral arterial disease in August 2012. NICE has recently reviewed the guideline and decided that a partial update is necessary to update the section on diagnosis. No timescale is yet available for the planned update.
