This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Make it compulsory for all new housing estates to have an AED (defibrillator)
New housing estates are being built everywhere, communities are growing.
The chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside of hospital are very small and emergency help often takes longer than the targeted time to arrive.
Having an AED available can increase the patients chances of survival.
