Extract from Welsh Parliament: 90 second statements - Oct 16

Mike Hedges:.. Cody's law, currently at the petition stage, also calls for all public venues to have bleed-control kits. The kit includes military-grade equipment, such as Foxseal Celox gauze, Code Red tourniquets, large trauma dressings, emergency shears, gloves, foil, blankets, face shields and a marker pen. The kit has a five-year expiry date and elements can be replaced if required at any time. A training video is widely available and promoted on social media. The aim is to install these kits within current defibrillator boxes in public spaces, such as schools, shops and sports venues. The initiative is supported by the Wales ambulance service, South Wales Police, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, and others. The support of Heartbeat Trust UK brings invaluable expertise and resources, reinforcing the project's capacity to make a substantial impact. The provision of these critical bleed-control kits, and the associated training, will empower citizens, increase community resilience and help them contribute to a safer environment for everybody in west Glamorgan.
