Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 15 September 2021.
Motion NDM7771 as amended:
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes that only 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
2. Further notes that for every minute a patient does not have access to a defibrillator or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), their chances of survival drops by 10 per cent.
3. Recognises that a network of defibrillators will save lives.
4. Recognises the £2.5 million funding provided by Welsh Government to Save a Life Cymru to improve awareness and access to CPR and defibrillation.
5. Notes the Welsh Government commits to extending this support by £500k this year to further increase the number of defibrillators in community settings across Wales.
