A NEW heart-start machine at Barnard Castle’s leading business centre has added to the network of defibrillators around the town.
The device has been installed to the outside of Enterprise House, on the Harmire Enterprise Park, and was made possible thanks to £1,425.75 from county councillors Ted Henderson and Richard Bell, via Teesdale Action Partnership.
The defibrillator was put in place by electrical contractors Tomlinson Longstaff and is registered with the North East Ambulance Service.
It has already proved its worth – within a week of installation a member of the public suffering breathing difficulties was directed to the defibrillator.
