Petition Action

The Blood Transfusion Service, or any part of it, should not, under any circumstances be privatised.

Additional Information

The government is planning to sell off Plasma Resources UK, the firm responsible for supplying blood plasma products to the NHS, to a private contractor.
We, the undersigned feel that this is unacceptable for the following reasons:
1. Blood is donated by individuals as an act of charity and should NOT be used to generate profits which will not be returned to the healthcare system.
2. The profit impetus may compel any company taking over services to cut corners in order to make return. This could have devastating consequences for patient safety should contaminated, poorly packaged or improperly labelled products reach frontline healthcare services.
