The Duke of Montrose

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the detailed research that is undertaken on the life and habits of victims of new variant CJD has included, or will from now include, a record of whether or not they have been blood donors. [HL594]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

The standard questionnaire used by National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Unit staff, when obtaining information about patients, includes a question on whether the patient has ever been a blood donor, and also asks for the dates) and place(s) of any donation(s).
