Written answers

Information in relation to the number and cost of defibrillators in offices managed by my Department is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.

I am advised that it is not considered feasible to make departmental health and safety equipment available for use by the public out of office hours when the offices concerned are closed.
