Contribution

I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising awareness of this serious issue. The Government are committed to shifting resources in the NHS from sickness to prevention, as is set out in our 10-year health plan and the new cardiovascular disease modern service framework. I am happy to raise those specific questions about funding assessments with the Department. As he will know—indeed, as any Minister or ex-Minister will know—it is difficult to shift resources from dealing with a particular problem that shows itself now towards prevention, but that is exactly what the Government want to do.
