I was at our local supermarket, ASDA at the weekend and gave some money to a charity promoting the use of Defibrillators. During a short conversation with the collection guy we agreed that there were too few of these in public places such as Supermarkets and on the High Street and that more of them need to be available to reduce the risk of people dying from a sudden heart attack.
What surprised me from the conversation was that he said that many of the Supermarkets seem uninterested in having Defibrillators at their stores, even when they could be supplied for free! Surely this is a public services that the likes of ASDA, Tesco’s, Salisbury’s etc. would jump at to show their involvement with the local community?
How is it that the French seem to be way ahead on this? You see them every where in France.
I see from some Internet searches that some individual supermarkets have taken the step to have one on their premises.
But it seems rather disappointing that the big ones seem not to be interested.
Let’s hope they change their mind’s soon.
