Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of including non-alcohol related liver disease assessments in the NHS Health Check programme.

Following the launch of a digital NHS Health Check in spring 2024, consideration will be given to extending coverage of the NHS Health Check to include the assessment of conditions beyond cardiovascular disease. The Government is investing nearly £17 million in the development and national roll out of a digital NHS Health Check which will give users choice about where and when to have a check, enable us to reach more people, improve efficiency of the programme, and free up National Health Service staff time.
