Fund publicly accessible naloxone and adrenaline autoinjectors (EpiPens)

What the petition asks
Similar to AED machines and emergency bleed kits that are available to the public at certain locations, we want the Government to fund naloxone and adrenaline autoinjectors, like EpiPens, to help in the event of an emergency.
With just one phone call to 999, a code could be given to release these drugs in critical emergencies before help arrives.
We feel having these drugs at hand could increase the likelihood of someone surviving an overdose, anaphylaxis and in some cases cardiac arrest.
