The Scottish Blood Transfusion Service has issued an appeal for people with blood group B- to come forward and donate.

Stocks of the blood type are down to just two days – ideally the service aims to maintain at least six days’ supply.

B- is the second rarest blood group in Scotland, with just 2% of the population having this type.

Supplies of A+ are also down to four days.

Are you a B- donor? Stocks are currently lower than we would like. To book an appointment at your regional donor centre, please call 0345 90 90 999.
