Question

To ask the Scottish Government what steps it is taking to improve data collection and reporting on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in schools, in collaboration with local authorities.


Answer

There is no mechanism that exists currently for the Scottish Government to collect data centrally on the provision of CPR training in schools.

As a key partner in the Save a Life for Scotland partnership, we continue to work closely with local authorities and schools to ensure that all school aged children in Scotland will be given the opportunity to be equipped with CPR skills.
