Business of the House

Contribution

Earlier this week, I attended a drop-in session organised by Cardiac Risk in the Young to show my support for the introduction of a screening programme that could save the lives of the 12 young people who die each week with undiagnosed heart issues. Whenever we go to these sessions, for whichever illness, we are told that early diagnosis and screening would not only save lives but save money for the NHS in the future. What assessments are carried out by the Department to determine whether those savings actually exist? It would be helpful if a Minister could come to the Chamber to explain.
