NHS Blood and Transplant is responsible for the collection, manufacturing and issuing of blood products to the NHS in England. NHS Blood and Transplant collects around 1.5 million blood donations every year to make sure hospitals have the blood they need to treat patients.<\/p>
<\/p>
The following table below shows that the number of active blood donors has decreased by 11.61% between 2008 and 2018.<\/p>

The Government has secured additional ECMT permits for 2019 and is in discussions with road haulage stakeholders on the process for allocating these. While hauliers are keen to have certainty on ECMT permits, the Government does not expect these to be primary means of securing market access to the EU for UK hauliers, given good progress on the EU Commission\u2019s proposal on reciprocal access, unilateral measures and bilateral agreements.<\/p>"}
