§ Mr. Wootton-Daviesasked the Minister of Health to what extent blood transfusions are needed from all over the country; and if he will make a statement about the present position.
§ Mr. WillinkTransfusions of blood or blood products are increasingly used in both civilian and Service hospitals, in ships at sea and on the battlefields. It is also necessary to build up large reserves of blood products against impending military operations, and to this end civil and military Blood Transfusion Services are working in close co-operation. More blood donors are, therefore, needed throughout the country to provide the necessary margin of safety and offers of such help will be welcomed by the Government.
