I hadn't heard of them before the last few years either. So he may have a bit of point on increased awareness. I'm also dubious about claims of nurses having to use them. I've seen one sensationalised press claim regarding one nurse and there isn't anything otherwise to support that. He is also right that people are very kind to donate. I think we have a very good welfare system in this country and people make it out to be far worse than it is.
