Lord Evans of Rainow (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 December 2025

Debate

Supply of Blood and Blood Products

Contribution

My Lords, I confess to 120 donations and thank the Minister for all the work that she is doing on this, particularly for tomorrow’s session, but she is absolutely right that only a tiny proportion of the population are blood donors. Talking personally, it is not always straightforward for working people to get those appointments. The noble Baroness is right that we are very short on black and ethnic-minority donors. With that thought in mind, would it be possible to look at artificial intelligence to make it easier for working people, particularly from ethnic minorities, to make those appointments during the working day?
