That the Parliament recognises the findings of a recent YouGov survey commissioned by St Andrew’s First Aid (SAFA), Scotland’s only dedicated first aid charity, which states that 61% of people in Scotland who were polled fear doing something wrong in a first aid emergency, 58% of people polled worry about making the situation worse, and nearly half of people polled (46%) cite a lack of training as a barrier to intervening; notes that, according to the survey, only 12% of respondents felt very confident in responding to an emergency, despite 91% recognising the importance of first aid training; further notes with concern that 7% of adults in Scotland reported having been in a situation where they could have provided first aid but chose not to, a figure that, it believes, when considered alongside the reported 3,200 annual out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Scotland and survival rate of fewer than one in 10, could represent more than 200 potentially preventable deaths each year; welcomes the launch of SAFA’s national campaign, Taking the Fear Out of First Aid, which seeks to address this issue by raising awareness, reducing public fear, and increasing confidence and skills in first aid, and encourages MSPs, local authorities, schools, workplaces and community organisations to support the campaign and promote first aid learning across Scotland.
