Air 2000

EDM number 371 in 2002-03, proposed by Laura Moffatt on 12/12/2002.

That this House congratulates First Choice Holidays and Air 2000 on being the first UK leisure airline routinely to carry defibrillators on all their flights; further congratulates them on providing first aid training for appropriate staff and notes that all Air 2000 crew are further trained to immediate care standards including the operation of the defibrillator if necessary; notes that Air 2000 was the launch customer for The First Call, a UK-based remote medical advice service which uses telemedicine to support staff dealing with medical emergencies anywhere in the world and that several passengers may owe their lives to these individuals; and calls on the Government to do all that it can to ensure such lifesaving equipment and trained staff are available as widely as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
