Blood Donation,Shortage,Irish Blood And Transfusion Service

The Irish Blood and Transfusion Service (IBTS) is urging people to donate blood as supplies of most blood groups have fallen to under three days of stock. Hospital demand for blood has remained high throughout the summer months, leading to a critical shortage.

The Irish Blood and Transfusion Service has issued an urgent appeal for blood donors to meet high hospital demand.

“But current levels including O negative, A negative and B negative are under three days supply and O positive is very low at 3.5 days," he said. Mr McKinney said that high sickness levels, holiday travel combined with the traditional back to school demands, have all had an impact on donor availability throughout the summer and now into autumn.

"We would particularly encourage new donors of African heritage to join the national blood donor panel to help us diversify the donor base and get better blood type matches for patients.”
