Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the uptake of the NHS Health Check in each of the past five years; and how often patients are being checked under that programme on average.

The proportion of people taking up the offer of an NHS Health Check between April 2017 and March 2018 was 47.9%, April 2018 and March 2019 was 45.9%, April 2019 and March 2020 was 43.7%%, April 2020 and March 2021 was 39% and April 2021 to March 2022 was 40.5%.

Individuals aged between 40 to 74 are eligible for an NHS Health Check every five years however the Department does not collect data on individual patients. Patients' mobility is not monitored as part of the NHS Health Check.
