Issue taxis with fully-automatic, portable AEDs (automatic electronic defibrillators) in order to give people who've had a cardiac arrest a greater chance of survival.

Taxis have already been issued with RAPAID bandages to help people who have been stabbed. I think AEDs are equally important. Those same taxis should carry portable AEDs. It's already happened in Glasgow (to a select number of) taxis, but this needs to happen across England too. Just by having select taxis carry them, it'll massively help in saving lives.

Having lost someone close to me, which was made much worse due to a delay in the arrival of paramedics, I think having more defibrillators around will save lives.

Having them in taxis will drastically increase the survival rate of someone in cardiac arrest, as there will be far more defibrillators able to be utilised by the public when on the street. "A defibrillator should be possible to fetch within 4 minutes (2 minutes there and 2 back). [...] That means the defibrillator should be 200 metres from where it's needed [as this is the average distance a person travels in 2 minutes]" (British Heart Foundation 2023).
