Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026NHS Blood and Transplant has acknowledged that publishing donation and deferral data by ethnicity and gender would have merit. The government should commit to doing this annually, so that progress can be properly measured. 010
Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Black donors are being turned away at more than double the national rate. We are also asking the government to review the evidence around current deferral criteria, updating them if necessary so that more people can safely donate. 110
Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Brixton's Donor Centre has shown what a community-based approach to recruiting Black and ethnic minority donors can achieve.
