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. Therefore, we encourage organisations to consider purchasing a defibrillator as part of their first-aid equipment, particularly where there are high concentrations of people.<\/p>
<\/p>
In order to further support the National Health Service and local communities, the Government has provided £2 million to make public access defibrillators more widely available and to increase the numbers of people trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-19T13:32:37.79Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Defibrillators"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make it his policy to install defibrillators in all departmental and public buildings.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} ], "uin" : "4839"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/751725", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/751725/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Good progress has been made, with 18 year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds 43% more likely to go to university now than in 2009, but we want to do more.<\/p> That is why we continue to push for improvement in these areas. Through the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, the Office for Students will have a statutory duty to promote equality of opportunity in access and participation for all students. The Act introduces a Transparency Duty that will require HE institutions to publish data on the access and success of certain groups of students. Greater transparency will push universities to build on what has already been achieved.<\/p> Our guidance to the Director for Fair Access in 2016 asked him to encourage institutions to make more effort in the area of recruiting more mature learners and this is reflected in guidance to institutions on access agreements. We are removing barriers to the growth of accelerated courses, which particularly appeal to mature students.<\/p> <\/p> The Government is listening to the sector\u2019s concerns about Brexit and has taken action to provide greater certainty. We have announced that EU students starting their courses in the academic year 18/19 or before will continue to be eligible for student loans and home fee status for the duration of their course.<\/p>"}
