I want to ask something that came up in my discussion with the GB4G group. Is there any discussion with the SNBTS about possibly allowing smaller donations by new blood donors? A donation has to be a pint of blood; I know that there are quite a lot of rules around that. However, getting people in to give smaller donations—at least for the first couple of times—might ease people in, because donating a pint can be quite off-putting for a lot of young first-time donors.
