Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many public access defibrillators there are in (a) England and Wales and (b) public buildings in England.
This information is not collected centrally.
Following our 2015 Budget commitment on defibrillators, we have awarded the British Heart Foundation £1 million to make public access defibrillators and coronary pulmonary resuscitation training more widely available in communities across England.
The provision of defibrillators in Wales is a matter for the Welsh Government.
