Demands On Blood Supply In Province To Grow

In the wake the KPMG report that showed it would cost millions for the province to develop it's own blood service, the New Brunswick Medical Society says other issues still need to be addressed.

Spokesperson Dr. Allison Kennedy tells CHSJ News whatever option the province ultimately decides to go with, a blood monitoring system in co-operation with the medical community needs to be implemented.

He says times are changing as the province is developing new trauma and cardiac programs so new demands will be placed on the blood supply.
