NNC / WNC- NHS Health Checks DPS (Dynamic Purchasing system)

The NHS Health Check programme aims to reduce avoidable premature mortality by early identification and management of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in people aged between 40 and 74 years who have no previous history of CVD disease. In Northamptonshire, 75 in every 100,000 people die prematurely before the age of 75 from cardiovascular disease. Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, local authorities have a legal responsibility to commission and monitor their local health check programme. All local authorities must offer an NHS Health Check to 100% of their eligible population every 5 years by inviting 20% of the eligible population each year over the five year period. In Northamptonshire 228,466 people are eligible for an NHS Health Check meaning that 45,694 people should be offered a check each year. Public Health England expect that 66% of health checks offered should be taken up equating to 27,417 checks delivered each year.
