Fund a defibrillator in all healthcare settings and care homes
I would really like to see a defibrillator provided to every healthcare setting and care home.
It is very important to act quickly in an emergency, especially if the individual is having a cardiac arrest. The survival rate for a cardiac arrest is up to 50-70% if a defibrillator is used on them within 3-5 minutes.
I truly am baffled as to why defibs are not more readily available in our care and nursing home settings.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
