District Councillor Charmaine Morgan, Chair SOS Grantham Hospital, said: "Whilst we are opposing the CCG Acute Services Review proposals it is also important to offer practical help if we can.
"Last year I worked with South Kesteven District Councillors and officers, Lives and the Lions Club to get defibrillators across Grantham. It was also important to ensure their ongoing maintenance.
"I understand a further defibrillator is located outside The George Centre on Westgate courtesy of Rotarians who are providing more."
Each defibrillator comes with clear instructions on how to use it. They are simple to use by members of the public and are vital if someone's heart stops beating, increasing their likelihood of survival.
