Sudden Cardiac Death: Screening for Young People

Contribution

I thank the Minister for that Answer. This week, Cardiac Risk in the Young will publish a study reporting on the cardiac screening of 104,000 young people aged 14 to 35 over a 10-year period in England and Wales. Uniquely, it follows up on each one. Sadly, this is still under embargo, but the results are very exciting. When the Minister has read the study, will she commit to a meeting with the NSC, specialist cardiologists and CRY so that we can reduce the number of 12 seemingly fit young people who die from sudden cardiac arrest every week?
