I believe we don't give UK kids UK blood because of BSE. Instead they get blood from US prisoners.
That policy might be changing now people that weren't born during the BSE outbreak can now be old enough to donate.
jellybaby-
that's extraordinary if true. just thinking about it is wild. so blood donations in this country only go to adults?

My blood has gone to Great Ormond St a few times and last time I was donating I was told that it was going to babies (I'm not sure which specifically). (I was born in the 70s.)
EDIT: I assume the above is how they knew where it was going.

Due to which Brits can’t give blood in a number of countries- risk of what we have from for e.g. BSE too high.
