P-06-1230 Every Second Counts: Install a defibrillator at every school in Wales for the public to access

This petition was submitted by Rob Shill, having collected a total of 64 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

A lot of people do not know where their closest defibrillator is.

If a defibrillator is installed outside every school on a perimeter gate/fence/wall then everyone will know that if they need a defibrillator, they only need to look for their closest school to get access.

Access should not be restricted to devices at locations only when the establishment is open. Public access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is essential.
