Chris Seeks To Know Why Cardiovascular Deaths Have Increased Since 2019
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment NHS England has made of the reasons for an increase in the level of excess cardiovascular deaths since 2019.
Helen Whately Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Evidence on excess mortality attributable to non-COVID-19 related causes implies that cardiovascular mortality is likely due to a combination of factors. This may include disruption to routine care during the first two years of the pandemic, lifestyle factors and disruption to emergency care and urgent elective procedures.
