    I think opportunistic health screening is a great idea. But how will you deal with people who have been out and about the whole day? A lot of these will have raised blood pressure because they've been out walking.

    Fair play for getting stuck in and trying to do something for public health. The burden of undiagnosed high blood pressure seems to be quite high in Ireland.
