Heart Diseases: North West
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve survival rates of out of hospital cardiac arrests in the North West.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
We recognise that there is more to do to improve cardiac arrest survival, including in the North West. The 10-Year Health Plan sets out the reforms and radical shifts needed to improve National Health Services and deliver better patient outcomes and includes a focus on improving cardiovascular disease detection and prevention. Key initiatives include improving the early detection and treatment of high-risk conditions like atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, known as 'the ABCs', to prevent heart attacks and strokes, which can lead to cardiac arrest.
