The Department has accepted this recommendation and is working with a broad range of stakeholders, including NHS England and the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, to finalise and implement an appropriate strategy to promote the use of Publicly Accessible Trauma Kits. A review of the equipment contained in the kits is also underway, in line with Recommendation 146 of the Manchester Arena Inquiry Volume 2: Emergency Response.
