Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that young, fit people are dying of sudden cardiac death syndrome; and praises the Scottish Government's investment in a £100,000-a-year pilot programme, in co-operation with the Scottish Football Association, which will offer free screening to amateur athletes from the Hampden sports medicine facility.
