HC Deb 23 September 1948 vol 456 cc142-3W
90. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health what was the average cost per pint during the war of the blood available for Army transfusions; and the overall cost to the Government today of a similar amount of blood to be used for the public.

Mr. Bevan

I regret that the information asked for is not available.

91. Dr. Comyns

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that new methods of treatment for certain diseases require large quantities of blood; and if he is satisfied that there is sufficient available in blood banks to meet these demands.

Mr. Bevan

The answer to both parts of the Question is "Yes."
