This is close to my heart on two points:
1) The NHS being forced to outsource is creating supply chain risks that are costing lives.
2) In January, I needed an emergency transfusion of 4 Litres of fluids and blood products to keep me alive during surgery.
Something that you may not be aware of is that people who have received a transfusion in the UK after 1980 are not permitted to give blood, due to the infected blood scandal. The availability of blood for transfusion is an issue that may not affect you now, but once it has (i.e. because you have had a transfusion), you won't be permitted to give blood.
