The Clare branch of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service is warning further hospital cancellations in The MidWest are highly likely unless urgent supply issues are addressed. The IBTS has issued a pre-amber alert, which means all Irish Hospitals have been asked to conserve their use of blood. An additional 2,000 donations are needed over the next month to restore adequate blood supplies and clinics will take place at the West County Hotel in Ennis on Wednesday 18th and 23rd and in Kilrush Community Hall on Thursday 24th. Broadford based IBTS Recruitment Executive Alex O'Connor says hospitals will have difficult decisions to make, if supply isn't met.
