Heart Charity Announces UK-Wide Drive To Reduce Heart Disease 'Postcode Lottery'

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) today revealed the sites for an innovative £9 million UK-wide drive to reduce the country's heart health 'postcode lottery', working alongside the NHS and local authorities for the first time. At present, people living in one postcode can be five times as likely to die from coronary heart disease than those living in a postcode just half a mile away.
