Primary care and population factors associated with NHS Health Check coverage: a national cross-sectional study
Conclusions
NHS Health Check coverage during 2011–12 was lower than the government projection of 18% coverage. Coverage must be increased through concerted multi-disciplinary strategies, for the programme to improve cardiovascular health in England. Considerable variation in participation between PCTs warrants attention, with enhanced support for poor performers.
