RED CROSS CYMRU

Posted by Jeff Rees on November 17, 2007 10:09 AM | 

Since 1972 the Flemish Red Cross has taken receipt of 11 million blood donations.
15% of blood donors attend a Red Cross transfusion centre.
The remaining 85% of people give blood at ambulant Red Cross collections.
Last year the Red Cross had over 171,000 registered blood donors - an increase of 15,000 compared with 2002.
A recent international study that looked at how efficiently blood donations were collected, processed and tested put the Flemish Red Cross in the world's top 3.

It must be time for a Red Cross Cymru in place of a Wales and Western England.
