SUDDEN ARRHYTHMIC DEATH SYNDROME AND DEFIBRILLATORS

That this House expresses deep concern at the number of people dying in Britain each year as a result of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADs); notes that this condition can affect people aged between 12 and 35 years old; further notes that SADs can be detected by simply having an ECG test and that screening is vital in detecting the condition early; and believes that the Government should commission independent research into the life-saving benefits of introducing defibrillators in all schools and public buildings.
