A MENTAL health trust has told its staff not to resuscitate its patients because it does not have the equipment to safely carry out the procedure.
An internal email sent by the trust’s medical director to staff revealed the trust did not have enhanced Personal Protective Equipment in place for resuscitation.
It said PPE including, gloves, long sleeved gowns, eye protection and FFP3 face masks were currently “not available” within the trust.
As such, staff were advised not to commence the CPR procedure even if advised to by ambulance control or life-saving equipment.
