Automated External Defibrilators - Findings from Corporate Survey

Joint report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services and the Director of Human Resources.

Minutes:

Members considered a report of the Directors of Human Resources and Community and Children’s Services in respect of the findings from a Corporate Survey on external defibrillators. 

 

RESOLVED, that –

 

·       Support the continued development of a corporate AED policy and action plan building on the lessons learned from the defibrillator survey and good practice guidance, which will ensure that installation of corporate AEDs is based on first aid needs assessment principles.

·       Support that the Corporation takes further action itself regarding the installation or promotion of additional public access defibrillators in the City where there is no identified first aid need, but instead encourages specialist organisations to take this forward locally as they are better placed to address this issue.
