I thank the hon. Gentleman. I think that is something we can absolutely pick up on. There are other ways we can reduce mortality at any age, young or old. We need to have more ready access to defibrillators and further CPR training.

I absolutely agree. That is a wonderful idea to make people aware, early on, about health intervention and what can be done through training.
