Rejected petition Basic First Aid Training to be Taught in Secondary Schools.

This is something that is of national interest that I’m sure a majority would be in favour of. The government have the power to reach the whole nation in order to enforce this vital part of education and I believe if this was enforced by the government a large majority of people would be in favour of it. We should all know basic first aid, it could be the difference between life and death.
