The cost of a defibrillator varies depending on the actual model. My own Department is located in one headquarters building and I can confirm that there are already two defibrillators in place which is considered sufficient.

As the installation of a defibrillator is an operational matter for individual agencies under the aegis of my Department, I have requested that the agencies involved respond directly to the Deputy. I can however, confirm that there is a defibrillator in place at the headquarters building for the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes.
