PRESCRIPTION FOR THE UK'S HEART HEALTH CAMPAIGN

That this House supports the British Heart Foundation's Prescription for the UK's Heart Health, which contains the commitments needed to protect the UK's heart health for the coming decade; notes that heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer; calls for the significant recent progress made towards preventing heart and circulatory disease to be preserved; expresses concerns over new challenges ahead including demographic changes, shifts in the burden of disease and a more stringent financial climate; is further concerned that the prevalence of heart and circulatory disease remains disproportionately high amongst people living in disadvantaged circumstances and from particular ethnic groups; and calls on the Government to meet these challenges by setting out a renewed approach to tackling heart and circulatory disease in England to reduce its incidence to one of the lowest levels in Western Europe.
