UK blood shortage

#1

Post by resybaby »

Article on the Bbc saying UK blood stocks at their worst levels for ages, thanks to cyber attack knocking a testing centre out of action, so forcing hospitals to use up standard o negative blood stocks up at much faster rate.
Aparrantly they only have enough for 1.6 days usage now.

Alas they wont want my blood anylonger, but mrs Resy just signed up on my behalf as a new donor :praise: . Appointment not availible for a while in the depths of Cornwall but 'every little helps'

Any of you lads and lasses able to assist?

I am ashamed to say when I was younger I did not donate, my wife did regularly.

When I got around to offer to donate I was unsuitable, because of my age.
