Defibrillators look set to be rolled out for Bucks, Beds and Herts schools
The move will 'save more lives' according to first aid experts
The Government looks set to announce that defibrillators will be sent to state-funded schools in Bucks, Beds, Herts and across the country.
The Government-funded move is being hailed as a "great" one by first aid experts, who say more defibs in the community 'will save lives.'
Brian York is from Heartbeats - a St Albans-based cardiac support group and said:
"Ideally, if teachers can be trained, particularly in CPR and indeed some parents - I think it would be useful."
"Instructions are on every defibrillator - but it's easy to know beforehand so you know what to do."
He welcomes the move to benefit young people across the country: "In terms of schools I think it's very important. We probably should have had them years ago."
"Not only for what might happen in terms of games or PE - it can happen at anytime to anyone."
"It's very unfortunate, especially when it happens to children."
