What the petition asks
CPR is a lifesaving skill which not many of us learn. Less than 10% of people who suffer heart attacks away from a hospital survive. There are many different circumstances which this could happen in such as accidents.
Personally, my Grandad had one in the middle of the night and consequently died. If I had known the basic skills than crucial time would have been saved. Yes, 999 call respondents are all trained and give instruction very clearly over the phone, however this still loses time.
