PUBLIC ACCESS DEFIBRILLATORS
A Public Access Defibrillator was deployed by the Ambulance Service to an incident in a rural village in Armagh . This Defibrillator was provided by a Private Company for the safety of the community. The Defibrillator was not returned to the provider after the incident which took place in June this year ,enquires to date have been unable to locate the Defibrillator
If a Public Access Defibrillator has been used it is Incumbent on the person who takes the Defibrillator to return it
I know this may be Traumatic particularly if it was not successful but failure to return it may put other members of the community at risk , there is also the danger that due to the expense Companies or Community Groups may not in future sponsor these Life Saving Devices
The Company involved have at their Expense replaced this Defibrillator
