A NHS comrade has sent me a reminder that UNISON blood branches (yes, we do refer to them in this way) are supporting appeals by the National Blood service to donors that they should not forget to their appointments. There is a seasonal drop at this time of year.The service has also been hit by the large numbers of donors being struck down by Flu and is running short of blood especially “O” Negative (see chart below).
Click on the Blood website and you can see how to make an appointment and the total stock levels of blood currently held.
Showing my age but if I remember rightly didn't Tony Hancock try to get out of his "duty" to be a blood donor by saying he would be a lollypop man or join the Young Conservatives?
Do your bit folks.
