§ Mr. Denis MurphyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many blood donors there were in each NHS region broken down by blood type; and how much blood was donated in each of the last five years. [106932]
§ Mr. DenhamInformation on the number of donors, their blood types, and on the number of donations, is collected by National Blood Authority blood centre rather than by National Health Service region.
The number of donors and their blood groups, and donations collected, are set out in the table for each blood centre in 1998–99, the last year for which figures are available. For each of the last five years, the donor and donation figures for England are given.
The figures on the number of donors registered over the five year period are variable because the National Blood Authority records were reviewed and updated before transfer to a new national computer system in 1998, to remove duplicate and obsolete entries.
