Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 January 2026

Debate

Sudden Cardiac Death: Screening for Young People

Contribution

My noble friend raises the crucial point about the NSC. I emphasise again that it has a well-earned international reputation for rigour and for making robust, evidence-based recommendations that stand up to scrutiny. My noble friend is right that we have to understand that introducing population-level screening for some aspects can cause harm, and we have to be mindful of that, let the experts do their work and come up with the best way forward for the majority of people.
