London Assembly Urges Bleed Control Kits on Buses

0:00On March 5, London's assembly has unanimously urged transport for London to place bleed control kits in major bus stations and on bus routes in. High-violence areas, these kits help stop severe bleeding from staves or deep wounds until paramedics arrive. Assembly members want transport for London to team up with the London ambulance service to make this happen. They also call for first aid training on handling massive bleeding for bus drivers and other frontline workers across the network. Young people push this idea through the London Youth Assembly, noting buses are their top way to get around. Leaders there say the kits are cheap, quit to deploy, and could save lives while boosting confidence in public transport. The motion is not binding, so the mayor does not have to follow it. Last year, officials cited health service advice that standard first aid works for most cases and specialist kits need training to avoid risks. For now, eyes are on whether transport for London or the mayor's team will respond. Potentially paving the way for safer rides amid ongoing violence.
