Too many people die each year due to conditions that if they were to receive early basic life support such as cpr they would’ve survived. At the moment bls isn’t compulsory in school but we believe if it was more lives could be saved each year. The main reason behind this is that a key part of survival in cases such as cardiac arrests is early detection, early compression and early defibrillation.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":11,"created_at":"2022-05-26T19:36:26.365Z","updated_at":"2022-05-31T15:03:19.962Z","rejected_at":"2022-05-31T15:03:19.965Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2022-05-26T19:42:49.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"already-happening","details":"We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already.
