Do I Comply With The Number Of First Aiders Ihave?

[CharlieJack]

I have a multi site business, with about 3 to 5 people at each site. Is it sufficient for me to have my staff trained as first aiders, (including at least one at each centre) even though those first aiders may not be on site due to sickness or annual leave?. Or is it a requirement to absolutely have a first aider at each site 100% of the time?
