To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to encourage schools and colleges with students over the age of 16 to promote blood, organ and bone marrow donation.

NHS Blood and Transplant has developed a free teaching resource pack called ‘Give and Let Live’, available for schools to order. It contains a teachers' booklet which includes case studies and background information about the need for more donors and aims to enable young people to see how they can make a difference to people's lives, by raising awareness about donation and demonstrating the benefits of blood, organ and bone marrow donation. The pack also includes an interactive website that features games, quizzes, fact sheets and short films. The pack is aimed at students of 14 and over but can be adapted specifically for students aged 16 to 18.
