I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 about use of bleeding kits.

I would like to find out:

1. How many bleeding kits (to be used by the public if the situation requires) are in your area?
2. How many have been reported to be used in the past 5 years?
3. Have often do you check the bleeding kits are in date or have not been vandalised?
