Defibrillators: Care Homes and Sheltered Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to increase the number of defibrillators at (a) care homes, (b) sheltered housing and (c) warden controlled properties.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The provision of defibrillators is a matter for local communities, working in partnership with local organisations and charities.
Decisions as to whether automated external defibrillators should be fitted is a matter for the owners of those properties, with regard to any legal requirements on the operation of those premises.
