I’m delighted to support this initiative. I’d just like to talk about the strength of the voluntary sector in this area, because there is so much to draw upon that I think makes this proposal even more viable in terms of improving policy in this area. Can I talk about St John Cymru in particular? I’m proud to be associated with that marvellous charity, and I am indeed wearing their tie, as a very observant leader of the opposition has just spotted. Just to mention a couple of their schemes: the young lifesaver scheme is aimed at children in after-school programmes, and it’s often delivered by a teacher who has been specifically trained. An estimate that’s been made by St John is that around 130,000 accidents happen in UK schools, and they offer a one-day course for teachers, so that they can help children who have suffered an accident, as another area where vital work is being done. And it’s also high-tech—there’s a free bilingual app on first aid; don’t ask me how you use it, but I’m sure those that know will be able to advise.

St John are just one of many charities and non-governmental organisations that do valuable work in this area. I think many of us are aware of the British Heart Foundation’s CPR training programme, which is available in the workplace. We’ve had it here in the Assembly. I’ve gone on it, Presiding Officer, and I’m pleased to say the dummy survived. And I think we all should undertake that training; it’s really, really important. The figures that we saw earlier on the bar graphs speak for themselves, because if you get trained for the workplace, you also have those skills if you’re at home, if you’re on public transport, whatever. It’s essential. The need to install defibrillators in main public places, again, is really, really important. And if you’re trained and you’re out shopping, you’re in a shopping mall, whatever, you will be one of the people that could use it. And, as Dai Lloyd so poignantly said, if you don’t intervene, the outcome is pretty certain. You need to have the confidence to intervene. So, I do think, Presiding Officer, this Bill, if it could be brought forward, would be of great benefit to the people of Wales.
