CARDIAC ARRESTS IN SCHOOLS

Early day motion 395, tabled 27 November 2007 by John Baron (Conservative). Signed by 69 members.

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.
