Blood stock levels around the country have fallen, due to a higher than average number of cancellations, illness and the annual drop in donations over the summer months when people are busy with holidays and events.
Donors who are O Positive are particularly needed. Donors of all other types are welcome, especially O and B Negative.
Hospitals are continuing to receive all the blood they need but more donations are urgently needed to ensure stocks do not fall further.
