HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c275W
Mrs. Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will estimate the cost of ensuring that the United Kingdom is self-sufficient in whole blood, factor VIII and other blood products.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The United Kingdom is already self-sufficient in whole blood. We are committed to making the United Kingdom self-sufficient in blood products and we have allocated funds for the Blood Products Laboratory to be redeveloped over the next three years at a cost of £21 million.
