Iraq: Peacekeeping Operations
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many units of whole blood were used by British military hospitals in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan in each year since March 2003.
- Answer
-
Blood supply to our medical teams in operational theatres is supplied in its component parts (e.g. red cell concentrate, platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitate) and is not supplied as whole blood. The information is therefore not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.Appropriate procedures are in place to ensure sufficient blood resources are available in both operational theatres.
