Gwent NHS Trust is not latex free either. We make clinical decisions re:
late free gloves on an individual basis.

Our Trust is not latex free, we use powder free gloves etc and deal with
specific cases on an individual basis. I must admit I thought that this was
the case with most NHS Trusts!

Subject: re latex
A conversation with the HSE today has led to me being advised that nearly
all NHS Trusts are now latex free.
To NHS Colleagues out there-is this the case? I thought a risk assessment re
glove usage and provision of powder free/low protein was the common stance.
Obviously provision of suitable alternatives for use when there is a
problem. Looking forward to your responses
Sandy
