Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many defibrillators have been delivered to state funded schools in (a) Enfield North constituency and (b) the London Borough of Enfield in 2023.

On 20 January 2023, the Department announced that the first deliveries of defibrillators had taken place. More information on the announcement can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/defibrillator-deliveries-begin-for-all-schools-that-need-one.

Since the announcement, the Department has delivered over 3,500 defibrillators to state funded schools.

As of 19 April 2023, 20 defibrillators have been delivered to state funded schools in Enfield North, 4 to schools in Enfield Southgate and 8 to schools in Edmonton. This covers all constituencies in the London Borough of Enfield. All eligible schools in the London Borough of Enfield are expected to receive a defibrillator by the end of the 2022/23 academic year. Schools will be contacted by the supplier, Lyreco, once their defibrillator has been dispatched.

The Department would again like to express thanks to Mark King and the Oliver King Foundation.
