Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish a timeline for the development and implementation of a modern service framework for cardiovascular disease announced in the NHS 10 Year Health Plan for England.

This Government is committed to reducing premature mortality from heart disease and stroke and the 10 Year-Health Plan sets out our intention to publish a cardiovascular disease Modern Service Framework (CVD MSF). The CVD MSF will be published in 2026, and the Department and NHS England are working closely to tackle one of the country’s biggest killers head on. We will say more on this in due course.
