1. Require faster eviction process, and improve protections for landlords in PRS - 13,263 signatures

Only around 5% of “out-of-hospital” heart attacks survive. This is due in part to unsuccessful CPR treatment. It is also due to the time it takes for professional help to arrive; anything longer than 5 minutes, you’re against the clock to recover oxygen to the brain. Businesses currently do not legally need to provide AED equipment and the cost of suitable equipment puts some businesses off “doing the right thing”. Making it compulsory with a means to recompense should help save lives.
