tabling member constituency	Richmond Park
tabling member printed	Sarah Olney
uin	136621
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>It is likely that a combination of factors has contributed to an increase in the number of deaths at home, including high flu prevalence and the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 and health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.</p><p>We are taking steps to help reduce excess deaths, including those which involve COVID-19. Vaccines remain the first line of defence. Antivirals and other treatments provide a necessary additional defence by protecting patients who become infected with COVID-19, particularly those for whom the vaccine may be less effective such as the immunosuppressed. We are preparing for variants of COVID-19 and seasonal flu infections with an integrated COVID-19 booster and flu vaccination programme, minimising hospital admissions from both viruses.</p><p>The National Health Service has published a delivery plan setting out a clear vision for how the NHS will recover and expand elective services over the next three years. The plan commits the NHS to deliver nine million additional treatments and diagnostic procedures over the next three years and around 30 per cent more elective activity than it was doing before the pandemic by 2024/25.</p><p>We are making progress in restoring NHS Health Check delivery, a core part of our cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention pathway. Delivery is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by June 2023 and we are creating a national digital NHS Health Check so we can go even further. We continue to work closely with partners to consider what more can be done to improve the prevention, detection, diagnosis and management of CVD and we will set out our plan in the Major Conditions Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 03/02/2023 09:19:05 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
