Police: First Aid

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to support the availability of bleed control kits in (a) Central Bedfordshire and (b) the UK.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The use of bleed control kits is determined at the local level and the Government does not provide specific funding for bleed control kits.

Where decisions have been made by police forces to deploy bleed control kits, these would have been done as part of their operational decision making, including how to allocate resources based on their local knowledge and experience.
