They should provide the basic nursing care stuff - dressing packs,
gauze, inco pads, saline and disinfectant and gloves.
If I am advising treatment of a specific wound then I give an FP10.
Sometimes I hand it over saying "This will tide you over till you can
buy some in" or "I expect you have plenty of these".
After all they can buy in bulk and get discount.

Jel and his melonin jacket? (after seeing the star he's gone quite
religious on us hasn't he?)
