Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC ("HCEG") announces that at the Extraordinary
General Meeting held earlier today, shareholders of HCEG passed the resolution
approving the merger of Crest Medical Limited with First Aid Warehouse Ltd and
its various affiliated companies First Aid Supplies Ltd, 44 First Aid Ltd and
Surgicon Healthcare Ltd (the "First Aid Warehouse Group"). Completion of the
merger is expected to take place shortly.



In the circular to shareholders dated 18 March 2008 (the "Circular"), it was
stated that First Aid Holdings Limited ("FAH") the acquirer of Crest Medical
Limited and First Aid Warehouse Group, proposed to raise through Ludgate
Investments Limited ("Ludgate"), a minimum of �550,000 (before expenses) to fund
future growth opportunities and provide additional working capital. Ludgate has
placed 242,000 shares in FAH at �2.50 per share, raising �605,000 (before
expenses) for FAH. This fund raising will be completed before the merger of
Crest Medical Limited with FAH.



As previously announced and as set out in the Circular, the vendors of the First
Aid Warehouse Group are to be allotted 1,000,000 shares in FAH and HCEG is to be
allotted 980,000 shares in FAH. Accordingly, HCEG's continuing interest in FAH
amounts to approximately 44.1% of the issued share capital of that company.



Following completion of the merger it is intended that John Gunn will be
appointed as Chairman of FAH.
