Amount of usable blood discarded
Dear NHS Blood and Transplant,
(1) How many usable donations are discarded?
(An overall figure and a proportion of overall usable donations would be helpful. One figure for a single twelve month period would be acceptable.)
(2) Is there an acceptable / expected figure for the number / proportion of discarded usable donations?
(i.e. recognising that it will be necessary to have an over-supply in order to be able to deal with any emergencies and contingencies.)
Thanks in anticipation.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Carter
