To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to develop a new Heart Disease Action Plan.
We are exploring a new long term conditions strategy to better recognise the fact that many people living with long term conditions need the same types of support and care, regardless of their condition. The strategy will focus on ensuring equitable and sustainable access to the services that all people with long term conditions need, while still allowing for targeted action on condition-specific care and support where appropriate.
We will shortly launch a full public consultation on this strategy. We are therefore not yet in a position to confirm the implications of the consultation and ensuing strategy with regard to condition-specific action plans.
