Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government why the NHS Health Check is not being offered to people over 74.

A person aged 75 years old or over is not eligible for an NHS Health Check because they can request a health check from their accountable general practitioner. This is a requirement of NHS England’s Standard General Medical Services Contract.
