Resident might have seen that I lead a debate on cardiac death in the young and shared the story of Stephen and Gill Ayling, whose son, Nathan, died of an undiagnosed heart condition. Today we had a follow up meeting with Health Minister, Neil O’Brien, and Anne Mackie, Director of Screening for Public Health England.
The meeting was constructive and we agreed on what we needed to do going forward. This is a step in the right direction to getting heart screening for young people who want it.
