answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is caused by changes to the pulmonary arteries, but as these changes can be caused by a number of internal structural changes and medical conditions, it is difficult to target a reduction in incidence of PH.</p><p> </p><p>However, where PH is caused by an underlying lung condition such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the Department’s action to reduce incidence of the condition also contributes to a reduction in incidence of PH. The Department is taking action to prevent cases of COPD in the first place, through initiatives including the recently published tobacco control plan and its commitment to tackling obesity.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/01/2018 11:37:07 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
