Defibrillators

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of defibrillators have a collocated bleed/trauma pack.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The Department does not hold data on the proportion of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) that have a collocated bleed/trauma pack. AED databases, such as the Circuit, are operated independently of Government. It is a matter for the individual AED guardian and their local community to decide if they wish to keep a bleed/trauma pack in the cabinet with their AED.
