End this politically correct poppycock
Sir, – Leslie Sinclair has given 125 pints of blood in his lifetime but when he went to give number 126 he was turned away since he refused to answer a question on whether or not he was pregnant.
He lives in Stirling so one would have thought that the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service would have had more sense, but no.
Professor Marc Turner of SNBTS said: “Questions may be asked without discrimination and we have a duty to promote inclusiveness therefore all donors are now asked the same question.”
Is he paid to spout this politically correct poppycock?
The SNBTS should provide two forms, one for men and one for women, instead of losing valuable blood donations.
