HC Deb 11 May 2000 vol 349 c462W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the locations of the defibrillators to be placed in public locations in(a) Shrewsbury and Atcham and (b) Shropshire. [121292]

Yvette Cooper

Our scheme to provide life-saving heart defibrillators in public places was launched in April 2000. 700 defibrillators will be placed in railway stations, shopping centres, airports and bus stations across the country over the next year. Additional large public areas are currently being identified as potential sites.

We do not yet have details of the exact locations of the defibrillators, nor of the implications for Shrewsbury and Atcham or Shropshire.
