I would like to submit an FOI regarding the economic costs of Hypertension. Specifically stroke related and heart-attack related hypertension.
Please could I have the total cost of managing hypertension for 2021 and 2022 (for the year 2022 up to and including the 31st August 2022).
Please could the results be grouped:
1. Annually,
2. By stroke related Hypertension per patient. Please split this by direct and indirect (social) costs.
3. By Heart attack related hypertension per patient. Please split this by direct and indirect (social) costs.
Managing hypertension would include: preventing, screening and treating costs associated with hypertension.
If providing costs ‘per patient’ is not possible, please feel free to use ‘costs per episode’ instead.
