HC Deb 30 November 1983 vol 49 c513W
16. Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated amount of blood likely to be required annually to meet the needs of the new Ross Hill private hospital in Glasgow; and what steps he is taking to ensure that no profit is made by anyone on the supply of such blood.

Mr. John MacKay

The hospital estimates that it will require about 1,000 units per annum. The agreement drawn up by the Common Services Agency includes the provision that blood supplied by the blood transfusion service will not be sold to patients, nor to any other establishment either within the United Kingdom or overseas.
