NATION OF LIFESAVERS CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 387, tabled 22 October 2014 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House is aware that every year in the UK approximately 30,000 cardiac arrests occur outside a hospital environment, 80 per cent of which happen in people's homes, with only one in 10 of recipients surviving to be later discharged from a hospital; commends the British Heart Foundation's National Lifesavers Campaign which aims to train people, especially amongst the young, in life-saving (CPR) skills; and calls on the Government to give this organisation its full support and to take action to encourage schools to include such learning as part of all children's education.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 7, DUP 5, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Green 1, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
