We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to S.O.S. - Save Our Service - Withdraw the National Blood Service reconfiguration strategy. More details
Submitted by Robert Wilson of National Blood Service – Deadline to sign up by: 20 March 2008 – Signatures: 1,492
Amicus / Unite is opposed to the reconfiguration strategy as the union believes the plan to be fundamentally flawed and unsafe for patients, donors and the environment. There will be no facility to produce emergency products in the East of the Pennines, from London to the Scottish borders. Amicus believes this will place patient’s lives at risk. In addition, nationally it appears that within the next four years around 50% of the NBS scientific and technical staff will face redundancy. There will be an overall reduction of 600 highly specialised staff.
