Minutes:
The Committee considered the correspondence received from
the Welsh Government and the British Heart Foundation and agreed that there is
little more the Committee can do to take the petition forward. The guidance issued by the UK National
Screening Committee does not recommend the screening called for in the
petition. Members agreed to thank the petitioner for raising this important
issue and close the petition.

Minutes:
The Committee noted that the Welsh Government’s approach to this issue is based on advise by the National Screening Committee, which does not consider such screening appropriate at present. However the Committee agreed to write back to the Welsh Government to share the petitioner’s view and ask them to consider undertaking a Wales-specific longitudinal study for the reasons outlined by the petitioner.
