Kidney disease affects more than 7 million people in the UK, yet was largely overlooked in the Government’s new 10-year health plan for the NHS. Without action, it will place an unsustainable burden on patients, families and NHS services.

Dear Prime Minister,

We are writing to you to seek a commitment from your government to address the urgent and growing burden of kidney disease. While we are pleased to see an emphasis on cardiovascular disease, we are disappointed kidney disease was largely omitted from the 10 Year Health Plan and believe this is a significant gap. Kidney disease is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, prioritisation of the detection and treatment of kidney disease would be a key step in the government's welcome aim to reduce these challenging conditions.
