To ask the Scottish Government, further to the Scottish National Party commitment to introduce heart and lung health "MOTs", (a) (i) when and (ii) where the first health checks will be delivered and (b) how many people will have received checks by the end of 2026.
We are scoping options for heart and lung MOTs in community settings like general practice, pharmacies and other community settings.
This is about ensuring that we can identify those most at risk of lung and heart disease earlier, and provide the support that people need as a result.
Further information on heart and lung MOTs will be set out in due course.
