Differences in diagnosis, treatment and support available in UK for Angina

A Freedom of Information request to Department of Health by allie robinson

The request was partially successful.

allie robinson

3 November 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was looking for information on the differences of diagnosis,
treatment and support available for Angina across the UK. I would
like to have information on at least 3 different trusts or
hospitals so I can compare what they offer. I would also like to
know why there are differences between what the trusts/hospitals
offer. If the information is not held I would like to know how to
get hold of this information, either who I could write to directly
at hospitals or if there is an organisation that I could contact
that may have the information.

Yours faithfully,

Allie Robinson

Dear Ms Robinson,
Thank you for your email of 3 November to the Department of Health about
angina. Your email has been passed to me for reply.
The decision on the treatment a patient receives is a joint one between
the clinician and the patient, subject to those services which best suit
individual needs. It is also for Strategic Health Authorities, in
partnership with NHS Trusts, Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), local authorities
and local stakeholders to determine how best to use their funds to meet
national and local priorities for improving health and modernising
services.
The Department does not monitor the individual prescribing decision of NHS
Trusts. Concerns about the availability of treatments should be discussed
with the clinician responsible for your care.
You can find out more about the diagnosis and treatment options for angina
on the NHS Choices website.

I have found that this can be based on whether you have been a smoker or not . Never mind the bronchopneumonia at five years old.Yes even if you have given up. My angina caused cardiac arrest all information saying I needed further investigation was ignored. All requests for help were ignored .
I have had former GPs refusing to see someone urgently [ breathing appalling] as said he could go in front of me. The GP refused on grounds he was a smoker . What society are we in that behaves like this ?
