HC Deb 18 February 1941 vol 369 cc27-8
52. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Health whether there is any shortage of donors of blood: and whether a new national campaign is being started?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Horsbrugh)

I am advised that there is no general shortage of blood donors, but that in certain areas more are needed. Local campaigns are being organised in those areas.

Sir T. Moore

In view of the large number of people who are only too anxious to make this contribution to the war effort, will my hon. Friend take whatever steps are necessary in the local areas concerned to make it widely known?

Miss Horsbrug h

Yes, Sir. Campaigns are being organised in the local areas, and the results are satisfactory.
