The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he expects to publish the Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework; and if he will set out the planned timetable for its implementation.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework (CVD MSF) will be published later this year.

The Department and NHS England are working together to deliver the CVD MSF, and as part of this, are considering how the modern service framework can be implemented in the community, as well as parts of primary and secondary care.

Wide engagement with stakeholders is underway to co-produce the CVD MSF, ensuring that experts, people, and communities are at the heart of its development.
