Last blood

SIR – NHS Blood and Transplant (as it is now branded) should remember that donors are volunteers, and if they feel aggrieved or upset by the service, they will walk (Letters, June 11).

At my March blood donation I was unable to make my next appointment at the end of the session as I had previously done. I logged on to the website only to find that all four of the next sessions at my preferred centre had “no places available”.

At the end of May I received an email from NHS Blood and Transplant inviting me to attend the next session at my preferred centre scheduled in eight weeks’ time. On the website, I again found that all four of the next sessions had “no places available”.

I go back to my first remark.
