Urgent Appeal For RhD Negative Blood Types In Clare Amid Hospital Shortages

An urgent appeal has been launched for RhD negative blood in Clare amid hospital shortages. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service has issued a pre-amber alert, which means some elective surgeries are at risk of cancellation without further donations. According to The IBTS, the majority of donations support cancer patients, births and emergency care. It will be holding clinics at the West County Hotel in Ennis from 4.50pm until 8.10pm on Monday and Director of Donor Experience and Collections Sharon Ryan says it's crucial.
