answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2020 answer text <p>All men must wait three months after having sexual contact with another man before donating blood or blood products. This deferral is based on expert advice from the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs.</p><p>We recognise that people want to be considered as individuals as much as possible. Separately to the convalescent plasma trial, NHS Blood and Transplant is already working collaboratively with LGBT+ groups on blood donation, through the FAIR (For Assessment of Individualised Risk) steering group. The FAIR group is using an evidence-based approach to explore if a more individualised blood donation risk assessment can be safely and practically introduced, while ensuring the safe supply of blood and blood products to patients. The work of FAIR has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is progressing and the group plans to submit a report before the end of the year. Whether or not any recommended changes to the donor deferral will apply to the convalescent plasma trials is to be confirmed.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 18/06/2020 17:44:16 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately previous answer version 29000 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481
