HC Deb 20 July 1939 vol 350 cc736-7W
Captain Plugge

asked the Minister of Health whether, when the first supplies of transfused blood are exhausted additional supplies will be obtained on a similar system of bulk collection, or whether those registering for transmission will be required to travel to different parts of the Metropolis or the provinces for the purpose of blood transfusion?

Mr. Elliot

The arrangements which are now being made are for selecting and registering donors of blood, and these volunteers will not be asked to give any blood unless and until an emergency arises. Their services will be required at the places where they have been registered, or, if they have moved, at the nearest hospital where the blood is being collected.
