A Mum has told how her five-year-old daughter would still be alive if there had been a defibrillator at the little girl’s school.
Lilly-May Page-Bowden suffered a cardiac arrest in the playground when she was being collected after class by her mother Claire Page.
Two off-duty nurses – parents who were also at the scene – began performing CPR on the youngster but she could not be revived.
The school did not have a defibrillator at the time of Lilly-May’s collapse.
Claire, 40, is supporting the Mirror’s campaign to make the machines a legal requirement in public places.
She said: “It needs to be made law. Defibrillators should be as accessible as fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. Lilly-May’s heart was shockable, so a defibrillator would have saved her if there was one nearby.
