The Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has promised to reduce cardiovascular disease—including heart attacks and stroke—by 25 percent within a decade and bring down waiting times by 2030 so 95 percent of all accident and emergency (A&E) patients are seen within four hours.

Starmer made the pledges during a major speech on the National Health Service (NHS) which is part of Labour’s phony war, an unofficial general election campaign that could last until January 2025.
