Appeal for public to donate blood as rise in hospital demand depletes stocks

The IBTS is urging any donors who have received an appointment to attend one of their clinics to make a special effort to keep it.

With hospital demand for blood supplies back to pre-Covid levels the Irish Blood Transfusion Service is urging people to arrange to donate.

The blood bank says there is concern that stock levels are lower than they would like because of the strong hospital demand.
