§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that blood donors are urgently wanted in Kent; and whether he will take steps to stimulate the response on the part of the public?
§ Mr. ElliotApart from voluntary organisations, the main blood transfusion organisation in Kent is the Medical Research Council's depot at Maidstone. One of the functions of this depot is to stimulate public interest with a view to ensuring an adequate supply of donors. I understand that a publicity campaign has recently been launched and that the position is now satisfactory.
