Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made, if any, of the cost of funding defibrillators for all sports fields in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
We have not made an assessment of the cost of funding defibrillators for all sports fields in Wales. Instead we have provided funding to the Save a Life Cymru campaign, which is working with organisations including sports clubs and facilities providers across Wales to raise awareness of the importance of CPR training and the use of defibrillators through the ‘Touch Someone’s Life’ campaign. The number of defibrillators in communities and buildings across Wales is increasing constantly and we would encourage people to register them with the ambulance service.
