Motion · S5M-15734 · 5 Feb 2019
CPR in Stirling Council Schools
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the announcement by Stirling Council that it is committing to providing lifesaving CPR training for every secondary school pupil; recognises that this decision has been taken to improve out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates; understands that international best practice from Denmark, Norway and Seattle in the United States indicates that training all secondary pupils in this vital skill has the potential to greatly improve cardiac arrest survival rates; notes that this decision sees Stirling Council join with 21 other local authorities across Scotland in pledging to equip all secondary pupils with this skill, and believes that, if the nine remaining councils were to make a similar commitment, Scotland would see approximately 50,000 young people trained in lifesaving CPR every year.
