Resuscitation (Mouth-to-Mouth Method)

HC Deb 17 July 1967 vol 750 cc178-9W

Mr. Haseldine

asked the Minister of Health how many cases of successful resuscitation following the kiss of life treatment have been notified; and what steps have been taken to give the widest possible advice on this method of saving life.

Mr. K. Robinson

The number of such cases is not known, as there is no requirement to notify them. The mouth-to-mouth method of resuscitation is taught by the voluntary first aid societies and is publicised by them. Most ambulance staff are trained to use it.
