HC Deb 22 September 1948 vol 456 c97W
70. Dr. Comyns

asked the Minister of Food if he will consider the possibility of granting extra food points as an encouragement for blood doners.

Dr. Summerskill

Blood donors are never asked to give blood sufficiently frequently to impair their nutritional state. They are, of course, given refreshments at the blood transfusion centres and the Ministry of Food makes allowances of tea, sugar, milk and biscuits, to the centres.
