    They add pretty good value, don’t they? Be grateful it’s not 20% of priceless!

            I thought all medical supplies were 0% rated for VAT? I know when I bought a spare CPAP machine (my NHS one is too big for travelling with) it was VAT free.

              Apparently a defibrillator isn't a medical supply.

                  I think worth having a defibrillator at home.
                  They say survival rate is based on how near you are to a defibrillator or medical attention.
                  Based on ambulance wait times they are not worth relying on.
                  Does anyone keep one at home? or access to one in the community?

                    Yes, we have one at home. The WifeTM is also signed up to https://www.goodsamapp.org/cardiac
                    When we lived in the Surrey Hills, we raised the funds to get one for the local village. Where we are now, the village hall already has one.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
