The Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided a second update of the progress of the motion on Automated External Defibrillators that was agreed at Full Council.

The Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Social Care (Councillor Keith Holloway) attended the meeting to respond to questions from the Scrutiny Committee.

Members welcomed the progress made in relation to Automated External Defibrillators and requested clarification around the timescale of the receipt and publication of the material on the council’s website. In response, Members were advised that it was envisaged that in the next few months the council would be in a position to publish a clear picture of where the defibrillators were located on the website. It was reported that the delay in the publication of this material related to discrepancies in the data that had been provided to date which was in the process of being clarified with the data holders.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
