MP Jess signs @CRY_UK’s pledge

I’m delighted that Jess Brown-Fuller, my MP in Chichester, has signed CRY’s pledge calling for a national strategy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death among young people. You can read more about CRY’s pledge here.

Jess has also tabled the following written parliamentary questions:

“To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has explored the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnostics.”

“To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve access to cardiac screening for young people.”

It’s terrific that Jess has taken such an interest and it’s much appreciated.

In March, Jess sponsored an Early Day Motion which highlighted the importance of CRY’s recent large-scale study, showing that heart checks save lives, and also of campaigns to raise awareness about cardiac risk in young people.
