Rejected petition fitting of defibrillaotrs in all schools and eventually public places

More details

The fitting of defibrillators in all schools and public places.
Since the tragic death of my daughter Lilly-May, whilst at school it was brought to my attention as to how important these pieces of life saving equipment are and the lack of them in schools.
Children spend a majority of their time in school, there are 270 Sudden Cardiac Arrests per year in UK schools. The chance of surviving a SCA I the UK is only 6% but immediate access to a defibrillator can raise this chance to 74%.
Defibrillators should be a piece of health and safety equipment fitted in all schools and eventually public places
