Response

  1. Three.
  2. Five.
  3. Two are registered and the third is not because it is in a locked vehicle, it is used as a mobile aid should the need arise, when out in the community.
  4. Zero.
  5. There is an annual fee of £207.90 + VAT (£249.48) per device.  If additional items are required, such as replacement or renewal of parts these are charged as appropriate throughout the year.   Two of the defibrillators were installed using grant funding and the fee and any parts are currently met by the grant funding and not by the District Council.
