Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted the Welsh
Government’s response stating that they do not believe introducing legislation
to mandate the provision of defibrillators is the best way forward. In light of
this Members agreed to close the petition an thank the petitioner for raising
the important issue.
In addition to closing the petition, Members agreed to write a further letter to the Minister for Health and Social Services asking the Welsh Government to encourage sports clubs, schools, and community groups across Wales to consider the benefits of having a defibrillator installed on site.
