Cardiac Arrests In Schools

EDM number 395 in 2007-08, proposed by John Baron on 27/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Health services and Schools.

That this House congratulates SADS UK on organising, training and donating 17 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to schools in the UK; notes that a recent study by the American Heart Association shows that, on average, for every 111 schools, there is at least one school-based cardiac arrest each year; and therefore calls on the Government to bring forward a strategy for including AEDs in all schools to help save lives.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
