Request
Having just given blood I find that on the form supplied the donor is required to declare their Ethnicity. Having given blood for many years could ask the following.
- Why is the question being asked?
- Who decided that this question should be included?
- Will blood transfusions be separated into blood from different ethnic groups and clearly identified as such.
- If the result of asking this question it is found that the majority of donors are white British would that make the blood transfusion service a racist organisation?
