Lifeline screening

I have had the lifeline screening twice - the recent cost for this in the Bolton area is £129 for the full screening. I have been happy to pay this to have the assurance that I am not currently at risk.

The staff were pleasant and the tests were quick.

Just had a flyer from these people. There seems to be no serious critique of this company anywhere.

Questions that spring to mind are:
- Is this company even qualified/competent to screen?
- Why doesn't the cardiovascular-oriented £150 package of 4 tests also go on to include blood sugar and thyroid activity level?
- What OTHER similar services exist that one can have confidence in? I am thinking of services that are at least linked with major private health organisations.

The BBC's ancient article on this company is short on fact and long on opinion and on Google Life Line's own rebuttal statement on the BBC site looks rather suspect in itself.
