With more meetings between Canadian Blood Services and the Medical Society scheduled for next week, we have been given a peak as to what some of the options are with the distribution center being moved to Dartmouth. The model both sides seem happy with is the one where apheresis production will remain here and setting up a stock holding unit. Chief Operating Officer Ian Munford says nothing at this point is set in stone.
 
Mumford aso point out the medical society will have the final say on which model is adopted and trial runs will be carried out in the near future. Chief Executive Officer Dr. Graham Sher will meet with Health Minister Schryer tomorrow to go over the latest developments. He remains hopeful the Province will stay with CBS and not explore other options which include getting into the blood business.
