I want the education minister and paraliament to understand how important first aid is and how it can help someone in a life or death situation. To help give everyone the chance to help and save a life, and in the unfortunate event, allow them to receive first aid and or CPR/ Defib use
Change the curriculum to allow for every 3-6 months first aid courses for secondary schools and colleges to be mandatory to carry out.
