[QUOTE="JCMaloney, post: 6628115, member: 2821"] The England & Wales Blood service is owned by a Chinese investment firm. It has become very "customer focused" and all about the "experience" for the donor. The safety checks on blood had to be changed after the contaminated bloods scandal, now there is a questionnaire every time and physical tests every time gets a bit repetitive but necessary. The trace ability is easy enough for the whole blood product. Everything is bar coded, when they take the package out at the hospital end there is a scanning device (bit like a self service till) that scans the donation out before it goes to the patient receiving it. Currently that link is confidential but auditable if needs be. The leftover plasma is sold to commercial research companies for testing/development etc.... they used to just throw it away so it is an improvement in a way. [/QUOTE]
