It is a pleasure to serve under the chairmanship, I start by congratulating my hon. Friend on securing this debate and paying tribute to all contributors. Public defibrillators are crucial for increasing survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests by up to 50% to 70%, especially when used within three to five minutes of collapse. We introduced the community automated external defibrillators fund with a £1 million match fund, which has resulted in the distribution of 1,590 AEDs as of March 12th by partners Smarter Society and London Hearts charity. Additionally, more than 20,000 devices have been delivered to almost 18,000 schools ensuring every state school has access to a defibrillator. Teaching first aid including CPR and the use of AEDs is now part of the mandatory curriculum since 2010. The NHS in partnership with various organisations is setting up The Circuit—a national database for locating nearest defibrillators, currently registering over 68,509 AEDs in England. Defibrillator guardians are responsible for registration and maintenance to ensure readiness during emergencies. Training is actively encouraged through partnerships like St John Ambulance which aims to train up to 60,000 people saving up to 4,000 lives annually by 2028. I also pay tribute to David Brown from the community first responder team and my late constituent Ruth Sutton for their dedication in improving defibrillator access.
