Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many defibrillators have been delivered to state funded schools in (a) Stockport constituency and (b) Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in 2023.

On 20 January 2023, the Department announced that the first deliveries of defibrillators had taken place. More information on the announcement can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/defibrillator-deliveries-begin-for-all-schools-that-need-one.

​Since this announcement, as part of the ongoing rollout, over 3,900 defibrillators have been delivered to state funded schools.

​As of 26 April 2023, 2 defibrillators have been delivered to state funded schools in the Stockport constituency and 12 to schools in Stockport Local Authority. All eligible schools in Stockport are expected to receive a defibrillator by the end of the 2022/23 academic year. Schools will be contacted by the supplier, Lyreco, once their defibrillator has been dispatched.​
