Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the volume of blood donated in each of the last five years.

Answer:

As the data requested is not held centrally within my Department, the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service (NIBTS) was asked for input and their data is provided in the table below.

Units of whole blood donated to the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service from 2017/18 to 2021/22

Donation	2017/18	2018/19	2019/20	2020/21	2021/22
Whole Blood	43,207	43,319	40,253	36,764	40,067
