Call for HSE to provide location of defibrillators

Peter Naughton has set up a new initiative in Co Laois to map the location of the portable devices, used to assist somebody suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, after the HSE said they could not publicly reveal their whereabouts due to GDPR regulations.

The group is now working with the National Ambulance Service to ensure that anybody who calls 999 or 112 will be immediately given the exact location of the nearest defibrillator in their area. The group's initiative was welcomed by locals, including Mick Carroll who suffered a heart attack last August in the Portlaoise area while out playing soccer.

Isn't that just amazing. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No accountability

Staying Alive is a free App that provides defibrillator mapping and citizen responders management. App available in 18 languages and maps over 120.000 defibrillators worldwide. You can also upload the location of your nearest defibrillator♥️ StayingAlive
