Assembly Members unanimously passed a motion calling on TfL to work with the London Ambulance Service (LAS) to ensure the kits, which stem bleeding from deep wounds or stabs before emergency services arrive on the scene, are available.

The proposal also called for training and awareness to be rolled out across the transport network, including first aid training for bus drivers and frontline staff, to ensure confidence in responding to catastrophic bleeding emergencies.

London Youth Assembly Chair Hugo Maxwell told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS): “These kits are already in lots of Underground stations but buses are the mode of transport most used by young people and therefore it’s essential that we start the rollout there”.
