"Mr King said: “The government intends to expand NHS Choices so that it has a directory of quality accredited information – a single sophisticated database covering all the long term conditions, linked to care pathways and accessible by users and health professionals.”

The first six LTC [long term condition] information packages on asthma, coronary heart disease, diabetes, dementia, depression and stroke are already on the website with more in their way."
