HC Deb 01 March 1965 vol 707 c179W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Health if he will introduce a badge for five blood donations in addition to those for 10, 25, and 50 donations.

Mr. Loughlin

We do not think such an award would be appropriate.

Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Health if he will change the shape of the silver gilt badge awarded after 50 blood donations, to make it easily distinguishable from the others.

Mr. Loughlin

We are considering how best to make the silver gilt badge more distinctive.

Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Health what award he will introduce for 100 blood donations.

Mr. Loughlin

I am advised that it is seldom possible for donors to reach as many as 100 donations, but the Chief Medical Officer writes personally to all who retire after giving 75 or more donations to thank them for their services.
