Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to improve survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.

NHS England announced in the NHS Long Term Plan it will work with partners to improve community first response and build defibrillator networks to improve survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

A national network of community first responders and defibrillators will save up to 4,000 lives each year by 2028.
