17 more defibrillators to be available in Harrogate district
Local voluntary organisations in the Harrogate district are set to be given 17 public defibrillators.
The move comes as part of £22,000 worth of funding from Harrogate Borough Council.
The council, which will be abolished at the end of today, launched a defibrillator grant scheme in January.
Defibrillators provide 24-hour access to life-saving emergency equipment when a cardiac arrest is suspected.
The council has now selected the 17 groups which will receive them.
Cllr Richard Cooper, leader of Harrogate Borough Council and chair of the voluntary and community sector liaison group, said:
