That this House commends the British Heart Foundation 'Wear Red' Campaign highlighting the plight of children born with major heart defects; urges national support for Heart Week on 7th to 15th June to raise funds to develop a network of specialist paediatric liaison nurses across the UK to provide a lifeline for many patients and their families, helping and enabling them to enjoy a good quality of life; notes that the survival rate for children born with major heart defects has gone from one child in five in 1961 to four in five today; and commends the work of both the British Heart Foundation and the National Health Service for this improvement.
