1) Please could you give detail about the inspection regime of the contents of the kit?

2) How often does this take place?
 

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.  
 
Please find below our testing regime for Trauma Bags:
Acceptance test- this is where the Operational Support Team will provide the bag initially and will ensure its operationally fit for purpose.
Weekly- performed by Lincolnshire County Council’s (LCC’s) station personnel.
Monthly- performed by LCC’s station personnel
6 Monthly-performed by LCC’s station personnel
After Use- performed by LCC’s station personnel after the equipment has been used, completed once back on station where stock is replenished.
The test performed on all the above is the following:
'Visually inspect the kit to ensure its in date and present and in good condition'
This is then recorded on a data base, where crew members sign to say it has been tested and the kit is fit for operational use.
