In September 2004 a national task force on sudden cardiac death was established to address the problem of sudden cardiac death in Ireland. The task force, chaired by Dr. Brian Maurer, will make recommendations on the prevention of sudden cardiac death and on the detection of those at high risk. The task force will also advise on equipment and training programmes to improve the outcome for those suffering from sudden cardiac collapse and on the establishment of appropriate surveillance systems. I understand that the report is with the printer, and I intend to have it published very shortly.
