Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2026

Debate

Resistant Hypertension

Contribution

My Lords, I declare my interest as chair of the Health Data Research Service. We know that hypertension remains underdiagnosed, and it is right that the Government have diversified the detection pathways. However, between those first high recordings at a pharmacy or in social care, the information does not always flow through to the treatment location, so people remain undertreated as well as underdiagnosed. Can the Minister say what steps the department will take to address this failing?
