❤️ The Health Minister and Chief Medical Officer attended the launch of @BHFNI's "Hearts Need More" report. 📄 Minister Butler and Prof Sir Michael McBride said Department of Health officials would consider the report in detail and explore the recommendations within it.
Pictured at the launch at Parliament Buildings with Health Minister Robbie Butler are Head of BHF NI Fearghal McKinney, Lucy Huffington from Portstewart, who lost her father Garry suddenly to a heart attack in September with Terry Rice from Newry, who lost his husband Derek to a heart attack in February.

It’s great to be at Stormont representing Asthma + Lung UK NI for the BHF NI manifesto launch “Northern Ireland’s Hearts Need More”. Policy intervention outlined in recommendation 2 on smoking & vapes is particularly welcomed.

Most people with lung conditions can get a free flu vaccine. The HSC should let you know when you can book an appointment. You might get a reminder by text message, email, phone call, or letter. Speak to your GP, nurse or pharmacist if you're not sure if you're eligible.

Off to get my flu vaccine done. If you are eligible for the flu vaccine you should have been contacted and invited for your free vaccine, but if you are not eligible, it is still good to get it asthmaandlung.org.uk/conditi…
