A MSP has welcomed a commitment from leading supermarket chains to add life-saving defibrillators to a national register.
East Kilbride MSP, Collette Stevenson, previously wrote to bosses at Sainsbury's and Morrisons, both of whom have stores in the town, asking if they have considered adding their defibrillators to the Circuit national database.
If someone has a cardiac arrest, 999 call handlers can direct bystanders to their nearest registered defibrillator to use while they wait for emergency services to arrive.
