HC Deb 06 May 1975 vol 891 c402W
56. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will outline the specific steps she has now taken to finance the production of anti-haemophilic globulin (AHG) concentrate; where this production is due to take place; and on what scale.

Dr. Owen

I am distributing £0.5 million to regions so that their blood transfusion centres can increase the production of plasma from which the Blood Products Laboratory, Elstree, will then produce Factor VIII concentrate. The aim is to become self-sufficient.
