What the petition asks
We recently heard of a leisure centre withholding a defibrillator to a nearby school where a teacher was in cardiac arrest thankfully the said lady has survived but next the person may not be so lucky make it law that if you withhold a defibrillator you will be held accountable
The said leisure centre said they withheld the defibrillator as part of health and safety guidelines this is crazy health and safety would rather have a death on their hands
