HC Deb 26 October 1998 vol 318 c68W
Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what measures he is taking to promote awareness of cardiac risk in the young; and if he will make a statement. [55829]

Mr. Boateng

The British Cardiac Society are currently working with other organisations on the production of clinical guidelines on the management of cardiomyopathy and other similar conditions which affect young people. The guidance will be disseminated widely to increase awareness amongst general practitioners and other professionals involved in identifying, treating and caring for patients with cardiac conditions.
