HC Deb 10 January 1995 vol 252 c122W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make available a screening programme for athletes, sports people and young people in order to reduce hypertrophic cardiomyopathy deaths.

Mr. Sackville

A genetic screening test is currently being investigated. An effective screening programme would probably need to be focused on affected families since the disease is inherited.
