Plans are in place to install a 24-hr access defibrillator at an Onchan primary school after concerns of a ‘black hole’.
Onchan Commissioners say they’ve identified a gap in the north-west of the village which doesn’t have a life-saving device.
As a result they’re funding the installation of a new defibrillator on an outer wall at Ashley Hill Primary School.
Earlier this month Manx Care launched www.defibs.im-– an online system which allows defibrillator owners to register their device as accessible to the public.
The Commission has already installed three publicly accessible defibrillators in the village - at ‘The Hub’, in Onchan Park and at the public toilets adjacent to the Manx Arms.
Manx Care encourages owners of defibrillators to join the register and potentially save lives.
