The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has set ICBs targets to promote CPR training in schools.

Answered by Karin Smyth

No formal requirement for integrated care boards (ICBs) to promote or recommend cardiopulmonary resuscitation training or any associated targets has been set. The Department and NHS England welcome ICBs setting locally led targets as best practice for local services and commissioners to work to.
