Following on from the meeting we had last year, I invited Stephen and Gill Ayling, whose son, Nathan, died of an undiagnosed heart condition, to London to meet with the new minister responsible for cardiac screening, Andrea Leadsom. We were joined by Sir Geoffrey Cox and his constituent, Hilary Nicholls, whose daughter also sadly died from an undiagnosed heart condition last year.
The meeting we had with the previous minister laid out steps in the right direction, so it was good to ensure this important issue remains high on the new minister’s agenda. We have come up with a plan to take things forward.
