[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1522427, member: 94045"] The over 40s health checks are the responsibility of the Local Authorities which have a legal requirement to do this. They can be done at the surgeries, health centres or in mobile units and are performed by the NHS. The [URL='http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/351/pdfs/uksi_20130351_en.pdf']Local Authorities Regulations 2013[/URL] set out legal duties for local authorities to make arrangements: [LIST] [*]for NHS Health Checks to be offered to each eligible[[URL='https://www.nice.org.uk/advice/lgb15/chapter/Introduction#ftn.footnote_1']1[/URL]] person aged 40–74 years once every 5 years and for each person to be recalled every 5 years if they remain eligible [*]so that the risk assessment includes specific tests and measurements, as well as to ensure the person having their health check is told their cardiovascular risk score and their other results [*]for specific information and data to be recorded and, where the risk assessment is conducted outside the person's GP practice, for that information to be forwarded to the person's GP. [*] [*]People diagnosed with the following are [B]excluded[/B] from the programme: coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, transient ischaemic attack, hypercholesterolaemia, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and stroke. Also excluded are people who are being prescribed statins or who have previously had an NHS Health Check, or any other check undertaken through the health service in England, and found to have a 20% or higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years.
