Public Buildings: Defibrillators
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a duty on local authorities to facilitate the installation of defibrillators on buildings that they own.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Department does not have any plans to introduce a duty on local authorities to facilitate the installation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on buildings that they own. The Government is committed to improving access to AEDs in public spaces and reducing inequalities in access to these life saving devices.
