Proceeding contribution from Anne Milton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on National Blood Service.


National Blood Service

In everything he does, the hon. Gentleman operates from a deep-seated belief in organisations such as the NHS, and he wants the best, not just for his constituents but for the people of this country. I therefore urge him, as I urge all Opposition Members, not to play politics with this issue, although I am sure that that is not his intention. If Opposition Members have any concerns, I urge them to discuss them with me; my door is open. It would be a tragedy if anyone did anything that reduced the number of donors coming forward. We are determined to ensure that that does not happen, but scare stories in the press can have that unintended consequence. We should not believe everything that we read in the newspapers. Question put and agreed to.
