question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their policy on providing defibrillators in public places and schools.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL552
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2016 answer text <p>We recognise that better provision of defibrillators and increasing the number of people trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation could help save more lives of those who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the Chancellor announced in the budget in March 2016 that the Government is making available another £1 million to make public access defibrillators and coronary pulmonary resuscitation training more widely available in communities across England. This builds on last year’s funding of £1 million, which provided almost 700 more publicly accessible defibrillators in communities across England and increased the numbers of people trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.</p><p> </p><p>Details on how this second tranche of the funding can be accessed will be available in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education (DfE) is encouraging schools to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) as part of their first aid equipment and in November 2014 announced new arrangements to allow schools to purchase AEDs at a competitive price. This is the result of a unique agreement between the DfE and the Department of Health in which devices are bought in bulk and the savings of around 50% are passed on to schools. Since the launch of this policy, 1,389 defibrillators have been provided to schools.</p><p> </p><p>To help schools in considering whether to purchase a defibrillator, DfE has published advice on installing and maintaining AEDs on school premises. This has been developed drawing on the expertise of National Health Service ambulance services and voluntary and community sector organisations.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 15/06/2016 12:22:50 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

uin	26214
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2016 answer text <p>Increasing exports, to all overseas markets, is a key factor in the Government’s long-term economic plan. Government departments are working together to support UK businesses looking to take advantage of overseas opportunities and to create a strong business environment that allows them to flourish both at home and overseas. A key part of this work is to identify export opportunities, many of which are based around the needs of high-growth and emerging markets.</p><p>This effort to drive economic growth is supported in part by the Prime Minister’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/trade-envoys" target="_blank">Trade Envoy Programme</a>, a group of appointed parliamentarians drawn from across the political spectrum. Envoys are carefully selected for their experience, skills and knowledge of particular sectors or markets, or their knowledge of business in an effort to identify substantial trade and investment opportunities. There are now 24 Trade Envoys covering 50 high-growth and emerging markets.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 25/02/2016 17:31:16 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
