I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Vale of Clwyd (Chris Ruane) on 9 December 2009, Official Report, column 467W (for years 2001-02 and 2008-09).
Information on funds spent on marketing activities by the NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) are held for England and North Wales only and cannot be broken down by local area. NHSBT's combined budget in 2009-10 for marketing activities for blood and organ donation is £19,990,933 million1. The provisional total budget for 2010-11 is £16,626,941. Figures for planned advertising for 2011-12 and beyond are not yet available.
1 The extra costs for 2009-10 were due to increased advertising needed to increase blood stock levels to 65,000 in anticipation of the flu pandemic, together with additional advertising to raise awareness of organ donation and increase the number of registrations on the organ donor register.

Distribution of donated blood across England and North Wales is co-ordinated nationally. In 2009-10, the estimated requirement for red cells across England and North Wales is 1,878,000 units, increasing to 1,896,000 units in 2010-11. The NHS Blood and Transplant’s (NHSBT) planning assumptions for the next three years anticipate 1 per cent. in need.
The number of donations the National Blood Service (part of the NHSBT) is aiming to collect in London and the South East in 2009-10 and 2010-11 is shown as follows. Data for likely donations beyond 2010-11 are not yet available.
