Minorities 'face discrimination' in NHS blood services

Minorities 'face discrimination' in NHS blood services People from a black and ethnic minority background "experienced inequality and discrimination" while working for NHS Blood and Transplant, a report says.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected blood services operations at its Bristol headquarters, and five other centres in August.

It found "safe and effective care" was given by "competent and skilled staff, working together effectively".

However, "there was a mixed view" in relation to its organisational culture. BBC News
