In the light of the AACE statement last week on bleed kits, can you update me on the number of kits registered in Wales and how many have been activated to catastrophic bleeds?
Can you also clarify how many (of this total number) are being inappropriatly stored in defibrillator cabinets.
Thank you for your request dated 19th February 2024.
