St John Ambulance launches defibrillator maintenance scheme

St John Ambulance has launched a 'Rescue Ready' programme for maintaining defibrillators around the Island.

It's offering a range of packages at different prices to organisations - from annual inspections of a device, to the charity taking full responsibility for it.

It comes after Bride Commissioners announced earlier this week it would keep its public defib out of service until government or a medical service stepped in to help maintain it. 

Earlier this month, a woman went to use the village's device and found it to be out of order as it was waiting for a battery change.
