EDM number 813 in 2013-14, proposed by Mike Gapes on 27/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Diseases, Health education and preventive medicine and Health services.

That this House urges the Secretary of State for Health to ensure that hospitals and the medical profession administer the pulse oximetry tests on newborns as part of standard tests that are carried out to detect heart conditions; notes that congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect affecting around one in every 133 children in the UK or around 5,000 to 6,000 each year; further notes that getting more conditions diagnosed early could help save money, distress and save lives; and further notes that pulse oximetry tests are cheap, easy to administer and painless.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
