Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-33422 by Jeane Freeman on 10 December 2020, what plans it has to include heart valve disease in the successor 2021 Heart Disease Improvement Plan.
Answer
Through the refresh of the Heart Disease Improvement Plan we will continue to drive improvement to minimise preventable heart disease and to ensure that everyone with heart disease, including people with heart valve disease, has timely and equitable access to diagnosis, treatment and care that supports them in living well with their condition.
We have and will continue to engage with key stakeholders on the development of the refreshed plan.
