“If there’s no yogurt on the supermarket shelf – that’s unfortunate. The customer will have to pick something else. If there’s no blood on the hospital shelf, the consequences are very, very different. We simply can’t afford for blood not to be available for patients, when they need it and where they need it.” â€‹
