A little information from NHS BT…
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is an executive non-departmental public body of England’s Department of Health and Social Care. It was established on 1 October 2005 to take over the responsibilities of two separate NHS agencies: UK Transplant (now renamed Organ Donation and Transplantation), founded by Dr. Geoffrey Tovey in 1972, and the National Blood Service.
