The effectiveness of public access to defibrillators is currently being assessed through a research project commissioned by the Research and Development Office, on behalf of the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS), entitled A study of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of public access to defibrillation in urban and rural populations in Northern Ireland””. This three-year project, which began on 1 January 2004 is due to be completed and evaluated by 31 March 2007. At that point, DHSSPS will be in a better position to make decisions about the merits of developing a province-wide public access defibrillation scheme.

[holding answer 6 March 2006]: I have been asked to reply.The NHS Plan published in July 2000 outlined a proposal to provide 3,000 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public places as part of a £300 million investment in new equipment for the national health service. Phase 1 of the national defibrillator programme undertook installation of 681 AEDs across 110 public sites.85 AEDs were installed at London underground stations and 267 were installed at train stations as part of Phase 1 of the programme. Table one lists the location of sites and the numbers of AEDs installed:
National defibrillator programme—Phase 2In 2001, the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) agreed to provide £110 million to tackle Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, £6 million of this funding was allocated to the national defibrillator programme.The British Heart Foundation was made the award partner in October 2003 by the BLF for the funding of the national defibrillator programme in England. The funding has provided a further 2,300 AEDs in the community together with funding for a community defibrillation officer within each ambulance trust to co-ordinate programme activities.A total of 12 AEDs have been allocated to ambulance trusts to install at London underground stations and 31 AEDs have been allocated to ambulance trusts to install at railway stations for the second phase of the programme.Table two lists the location of sites and the numbers of AEDs to be installed:

In July 1999, the White Paper, ““Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation”” announced the Government's intention to invest £1 million in installing automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in busy public places such as railway stations, airports, coach stations and ferry ports. A further £1 million was then committed to training people employed at the site in their use and in basic life support.In April 2000, the Metro Centre shopping complex was the first public place in which AEDs were installed. Nine further public places (sites) received AEDs, completing the pilot phase of the programme and in November 2002, phase one of the programme was completed. This resulted in 110 sites receiving 681 AEDs and over 6,050 people receiving training in basic life support skills and the use of an AED. These AEDs were mainstreamed to the national health service as of 1 February 2005.Evidence suggests that 71 lives have been saved as a result of the programme. This information is derived from stakeholders; sites report incident activity to the manager of the national defibrillator programme within 48 hours. On notification from a site or the Department, the manufacturers download data from the AED and forward to the Department within 72 hours. The manager then liaises with ambulance trusts and receiving hospitals, as the download data can be used for diagnosis and follow up treatment if the resuscitation has been successful. Patient confidentiality precludes the Department from insisting on identification and outcomes of the patients so the actual survival rates could be much higher.

Information on the number of defibrillators in public places is not available as there is no central control of their purchase and distribution. Only a proportion of those currently provided in public places are funded by government agencies.

These are matters for each Fire & Rescue Authority to consider working in partnership with their local Ambulance Service NHS Trust where appropriate.The latest draft Fire and Rescue National Framework 2006–2008 makes clear the Government's wish to see Fire and Rescue Authorities working with other providers to improve life safety through the use of defibrillation equipment and by implementing co-responder schemes. Furthermore, as part of the Coronary Heart Disease National Service Framework, the Department of Health continues to roll out a National Defibrillator Programme. There are already over 700 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public places. An additional 221 AEDs have been allocated to fire & rescue services.
