Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent, before licensing the setting up of private abortion clinics, he takes into account the estimated demand by these services on regional blood transfusion services.

Mr. Crossman

Before approving a home I require it to have satisfactory arrangements for the supply of blood, but the extent to which these homes require blood supplies in emergency is relatively too small to constitute a significant demand on the blood transfusion service.
