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.
