Dear Forth Valley NHS Board,

Can you tell me through the Freedom Of Information Act how much
blood (pints or otherwise) Forth valley NHS Board has taken in from
donations in the last 5 years?

Can you tell me if any of the blood taken in by FVHB can or has
been taken abroad to patients from the European Union? (countries
that are members of the EU)

If yes, how much has been sent percentage wise of the blood taken
in?

If yes, has any of this blood been sold?

If yes, how much was taken in from the sale of blood?

Yours faithfully,

Dear freedomofinformation (NHS FORTH VALLEY),

Thank you for the response, but if you don't take any Blood, what
do you use? I would have thought you would receive blood from the
SBTS.

Yours sincerely,

Dear freedomofinformation (NHS FORTH VALLEY),

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't mean "take blood from
patients". I was meaning how much blood do you receive from the
Scottish Blood transfusion service or any other service? I was
looking for figures from the last 54 years.

Yours sincerely,

brian ovens
