British Heart Foundation, CPR Training

Lodged by Christian Allard Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the essential work of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) throughout Scotland; notes that the BHF provides free, interactive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training kits to all secondary schools that apply for them; acknowledges what it considers the indispensable value of this knowledge and skills base, often doubling a person's chance of survival after a cardiac arrest when applied appropriately; considers problematic the BHF’s finding that 76% of people in Scotland are not confident in the use of CPR, and encourages all secondary schools to focus on equipping young people to provide such vital first aid.
