NDM7771 Welsh Conservatives Debate - Access to defibrillators
NDM7771 Darren Millar
(Clwyd West)
To propose that the
Senedd:
1. Notes that only
1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
2. Further notes
that for every minute a patient does not have access to a defibrillator
or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), their chances of survival drops by
10 per cent.
3. Recognises that
a network of defibrillators will save lives.
4. Calls on the
Welsh Government to provide grant funding or loans to enable community halls,
sports grounds and independent shops to buy and install a defibrillator.
