Use of blood donations annually

NHS Blood and Transplant did not have the information requested.

Dear NHS Blood and Transplant,

I was wondering if it would be possible to receive a breakdown of how donated blood products are used in the UK annually (for as recent a calendar year as possible)?

I would like to know, in particular, what % of donated blood is used:

1. To treat medical conditions
2. For planned surgery
3. For *emergency* surgery

Yours faithfully,

Benjamin Weil
