This bill would require automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be installed in a wide range of public venues, including public buildings, sporting facilities, schools, higher and further education institutions, and facilities that care for vulnerable people. It would also set out training and signage rules so AEDs are easy to find and use in an emergency.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to Committee Stage for detailed examination, followed by Report Stage and Third Reading, before moving to the Lords.
