HC Deb 24 April 2002 vol 384 c348W
Dr. Murrison

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what proportion of over-75s have undergone health checks in each year since their introduction. [42088]

Jacqui Smith

This information is not held centrally. General practitioners who work under the national framework for general medical services are required to offer an annual health check to each of their patients who is aged at least 75. The requirement on general practitioners working under the locally managed framework of personal medical services is more flexible. In neither case, however, are data on patient take-up collected.
