The proposed legislation mandates the inclusion of defibrillators in all new housing developments and secures funding for their maintenance.
The South Basildon and East Thurrock MP said: “While I acknowledge the very positive steps that have been taken to provide defibrillators in every school, and on our high streets…this Bill specifically targets one area which is yet to be addressed, private residential homes.
“In the UK, according to the Resuscitation Council, more than 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the home. He noted: “This statistic could be mirrored in the UK, which is why I am calling for a legal requirement to ensure that all new housing developments have a defibrillator as an essential piece of life-saving equipment.”
