Oral update to be provided.

Officers reported that BT had deferred their strategy regarding installation of defibrillators in phone boxes until January 2017. Members noted that work was progressing with Waitrose regarding the installation of a defibrillator in their branch on Whitecross Street. It was hoped that, if successful, this could be held up as an example and other supermarkets would follow suit. Steve Stevenson advised that, at the London Ambulance Patients’ Forum, Sainsbury’s had undertaken to install thousands of defibrillators in their stores across the country.
