Question 188: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will give an undertaking to ensure that cardiac rehabilitation is properly resourced through the reversal of recent staff cuts and the protection of current services from future cutbacks noting that international clinical trial evidence indicates that cardiac rehabilitation is directly responsible for reducing cardiac and all cause mortality by 26%; her views on the fact that, if all eligible patients here received cardiac rehabilitation, some 2,300 lives could be saved each year; and her further views on whether there is a need to protect this life-saving capability and the quality of life benefits accruing to thousands more cardiac patients.
