AIR 2000

Early day motion 371, tabled 12 December 2002 by Laura Moffatt (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House congratulates First Choice Holidays and Air 2000 on being the first UK leisure airline routinely to carry defibrillators on all their flights; further congratulates them on providing first aid training for appropriate staff and notes that all Air 2000 crew are further trained to immediate care standards including the operation of the defibrillator if necessary; notes that Air 2000 was the launch customer for The First Call, a UK-based remote medical advice service which uses telemedicine to support staff dealing with medical emergencies anywhere in the world and that several passengers may owe their lives to these individuals; and calls on the Government to do all that it can to ensure such lifesaving equipment and trained staff are available as widely as possible.
