Remember the query I had about having to notify the Blood Transfusion Serviceon the donor questionnaire whether I'd been in contact with someone having had a smallpox vaccination prior to donating blood? Well, here's the response I got:
"Many thanks for your enquiry regarding the smallpox question on the donor safety check form (DSC).
"We agree that this question that needs to be removed.
"There is an ongoing project in the background to revamp the DSC and this question already on the list. The process will take at least six months before a final version is agreed and a few more months for the new version to be printed and brought into use.
"I hope this helps and thanks for bringing this to our attention.
"Kind Regards
"Senior Nurse Practitioner - Clinical Support Team "
So, it's essentially redundant.
