The Task Force on Sudden Cardiac Death, whose report "Reducing the Risk: A Strategic Approach" was published in March 2006, recognises the need for early cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Overall responsibility for implementation of the report's recommendations has been assigned to the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
