Schools: Access to Defibrillators

Debate between Lord Nash and Lord Selkirk of Douglas

Monday 30th January 2017 Lords Chamber

[Lord Nash]

As I say, we leave it to schools to deal with the precise details, but they will of course make it absolutely clear where the defibrillator is. I have already referred to the issue of training.

[Lord Selkirk of Douglas (Con)]

Does my noble friend accept that the use of defibrillators has saved a great many lives—provided, of course, that they are used in appropriate circumstances?

[Lord Nash]

I accept that entirely.
