Purpose of the group
The purpose of the Cross Party Group on Heart Disease and Stroke is to influence future policy development and help ensure tackling heart disease and stroke remain priorities, by:
- Bringing collective expertise to Parliament, including that of people living with heart disease and stroke, to share evidence and research on the prevention, care and treatment of heart disease and stroke.
- Increasing political awareness about living with heart disease and stroke, and the cross-cutting links with the wider public health agenda and the Scottish Government’s strategic position on health.
