Defibrillators have been described as the single most important determinant for survival following Serious Cardiac Arrest.

The aspiration of Surrey County Council is to locate a public access defibrillator in every Corporate Surrey County Council building, by prioritising the roll out based on the greatest concentration of staff.

This document outlines the benefits of access to automated external defibrillators and how they can be deployed across these Corporate sites to help both staff and those in the wider community to help resuscitate a victim of an SCA.

It was recommended that:

1.    The Leader approves an initial capital investment of £53,000 to supply defibrillators in all Fully Serviced buildings which in total will benefit approx 4,000 staff.

2.    Following these installations the Leader approves a further £155,000 between 2016 and 2017 for the roll out of defibrillators across the remainder of the 186 Corporate sites.
