Blood stocks of TWO major types are running low

Blood stocks of TWO major types are running low Stocks of two major types of blood are running low because of the bad weather, concerned health officials have warned.

The NHS fears there won't be enough B negative and O negative blood to last this Christmas.

Bosses are now urging people to donate their blood - despite thousands having already been put off due to the cold temperatures.

The start of the flu season, which has seen a 39 per cent jump in cases in the past week, is also to blame for the lack of blood.

Jon Latham, of the NHS Blood and Transplant, revealed anyone with either blood type will be able to walk in and donate at any centre. The Daily Mail
