EDM 1289: Cardiovascular disease prevention

That this House recognises that cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD-risk conditions in this country are a leading cause of morbidity, disability and health inequalities; further recognises that 7.6 million people in the UK have a CVD condition and that this figure is projected to rise significantly by 2040; notes that CVD is also a major contributor to economic and productivity challenges; acknowledges that without concerted action we will continue to see the wide reaching impacts of CVD and CVD-risk conditions on patients, the NHS and wider society; and calls on the Government to work with clinical leaders, patients and communities to deliver a national action plan for CVD which commits to improving prevention, care and outcomes for people living with, or at risk of, cardiovascular conditions.
