To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he has taken to increase to availability of (a) defibrillators and (b) other first aid equipment (i) across England and (ii) within Romford constituency.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he has taken to increase to availability of (a) defibrillators and (b) other first aid equipment (i) across England and (ii) within Romford constituency.
The Department’s position is that local communities are best placed to make decisions about procuring, locating, and maintaining automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that are managed outside of the National Health Service, including in the Romford constituency.
There are over 110,000 defibrillators registered in the United Kingdom on The Circuit, the independent AED database, and over 30,000 of these have been added in the past two years. Additionally, decisions on the provision of first aid equipment are generally taken locally by communities, organisations, and site owners.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of requiring licensed pubs, restaurants and other food-serving establishments to have at least one member of staff on duty who holds a valid first aid qualification, including training in the recognition...

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate to enable first aid to be rendered to employees who are injured or become ill at work. A needs assessment will determine the first-aid requirements that are appropriate for that business. However, these regulations do not apply to non-employees such as customers.
Where work includes the provision of a service to others ie non-employees in a restaurant or pub, guidance from the Health and Safety Executive strongly recommends that their needs are included in this assessment.
Where a need for a first aider is identified, it should be noted that responding to choking emergencies is a core competency of the Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work qualifications.

I beg to move,
That this House has considered defibrillators in police vehicles.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. I am delighted to have secured this debate on defibrillators in the back of police vehicles. I have been pushing for this for some time, and it is...

My hon. Friend is making a fantastic speech. Does he agree that as well as defibrillators, there should be bleed kits in the back of police cars? Yeovil town council has introduced bleed kits across the town, as well as defibrillators. Does he agree that we need both in police...

I have raised that very issue with Devon and Cornwall constabulary. Following an awful incident, a grieving mother is trying to ensure that we have stab kits across the United Kingdom. As I am sure my hon. Friend has done, I have corresponded with Avon and Somerset police on this...

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. By equipping every police vehicle with a device, such as the CU Medical iPAD SP1 or the Defibtech Lifeline AUTO, we will expand our chain of survival on the roads.

The hon. Member makes a valuable point. Resuscitation Council UK highlights that if there is an intervention within three to five minutes, the chances of survival are between 50% and 70%. It really is all about timing and how we can significantly impact that.

The hon. Member is giving an impassioned speech. I share his sadness about the loss of Jay, whom he mentioned in his opening remarks.
In my constituency we did a defib dash, where I encouraged constituents to understand where their nearest community defibrillator was. The average return journey was 12 minutes...

The police are so often the first on the scene. It ends up being a postcode lottery, whether it is because of communities are rural, coastal or more deprived. I say to the Minister that by getting defibrillators in the back of police response vehicles, we will remove some of...

I thank the Minister for allowing me to quiz her further. Can she expand on that point? Is the pushback from the National Police Chiefs’ Council, from lower levels within policing or from Government Ministers? Anyone can use a defibrillator, because it walks them through it. This is not about...

It is not a comprehensive view across policing; there is a general concern about the role of policing versus other emergency services. We often have a wider debate within policing about the huge quantity of time that is spent responding to mental health issues, when other services should be doing...

I know timescales are tricky, but can the Minister provide some rough timescales on the different steps? I understand that the new national police force and procurement are a bit more distant, but can she tell us what timescales she is working to, at least on the first steps she...

We will engage with policing over the next few months, so that will be done relatively quickly, and we will see what people come back with.
The national police service is not that far away. We will hopefully introduce legislation in September to set it up, and there are things that...

The Department is working with the rail industry, the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to consider the appropriate and proportionate provision of Public Access Trauma (PAcT) kits across the rail network, including at stations and on trains. PAcT kits have been clinically standardised and are designed to be used by members of the public in an emergency, supported by clear instructions. Decisions on their provision are being informed by clinical advice and consideration of where they would be most effective.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of whether officers attending the incident in which Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed complied with national first‑aid, triage and casualty‑care guidance for police at serious violence scenes.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of whether officers attending the incident in which Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed complied with national first‑aid, triage and casualty‑care guidance for police at serious violence scenes.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the conduct of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officers in connection with the death of Henry Nowak, including the contact officers had with him immediately prior to his death. It would not be appropriate for Ministers to comment on the actions of officers while the matter is under investigation by the IOPC.
The IOPC has powers to seek all relevant information from the force, including evidence, and its investigators have the powers of police officers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) if investigating a criminal offence.
The IOPC takes its operational decisions independently of the Home Office but has said, in its published statement of 2 June, that its ongoing investigation will consider the use of handcuffs and the provision of first aid.
The IOPC also said in that statement that it is reviewing a large amount of police body-worn footage, which it needs to consider in context with other evidence obtained, “including reviewing material presented during the murder trial, as we establish the full circumstances”.
Now that the criminal proceedings have concluded, the IOPC is planning to meet with Mr Nowak’s family and provide them with updates about their investigation. The IOPC shares material as required by legislation throughout an investigation by applying a harms test which balances matters relating to data protection, privilege, and operational sensitivity.
When officers take the decision to use force, including handcuffing a person, they are accountable through the law for their actions and must be able to justify those as reasonable, proportionate and necessary in all circumstances.
Ministers have engaged with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, including the Chief Constable, in relation to the death of Mr Nowak. However, the police are operationally independent of Government, and it is for the force to determine how the incident and the response to the subsequent IOPC investigation is managed.
Police officers of all ranks are also expected to abide by the principles of the Code of Ethics, which supports everyone in policing to act in a professional manner. This sets out that the police serve the public, and all people equally and impartially. This is also a requirement of the statutory Standards of Professional Behaviour for police officers, a breach of which can result in disciplinary action, and ultimately dismissal.
The Code of Ethics requires all police officers and staff to make their decisions free from prejudice: this principle is at the heart of police practice and is the cornerstone of police training. Training for police investigators includes a specific focus on making impartial decisions free from prejudice, policing fairly and the practical effects of these fundamentals on the investigation process. Officers are also expected to adhere to relevant Authorised Professional Practice issued by the College of Policing.
The Home Office does not centrally hold information on whether allegations of racism were made during incidents attended by the police.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has reviewed whether attending officers complied with national first‑aid and casualty‑care protocols in the incident in which Henry Nowak died.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has considered including medical first response to drug misuse as part of mandatory first-aid training in secondary schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she has considered including medical first response to drug misuse as part of mandatory first-aid training in secondary schools.
All state funded schools are required to teach first aid as part of the statutory health education set out in the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) statutory guidance. Independent schools are required to cover health education as part of their responsibility to provide personal, social, health and economic education.
The RSHE guidance requires primary schools to teach basic first aid, such as dealing with common injuries. In secondary schools, pupils learn about CPR, defibrillator use, the law on knife crime, how to manage personal safety in increasingly independent situations including around roads, and drug misuse. Schools have flexibility in how they deliver this content.
