Professor Brendan McAdam:

Part of it is a lack of people who have expertise in that area but access to cardiac MRI, CT genetic testing is very patchy throughout the country, as the Deputy has already heard, from an imaging point of view. We do not have a national genetics service. We have to outsource our genetic testing quite a lot to other countries around Europe. We have a small laboratory in Crumlin hospital and in the Mater hospital that perform genetic testing but again the waiting list is substantial.
