Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 January 2026

Debate

Sudden Cardiac Death: Screening for Young People

Contribution

Comparisons of screening programmes with other health systems can be misleading. For example, the programme in Italy operates only in the area around Venice; it is not a national screening programme. The published data is unclear and we have requested further information. Of course, if any programme in the world is really cutting through, we want to know about it. We would love to know more, and we urge the Italians to respond to our request for more information.
