RE: RE: SABTO
I completely agree Sah. The likely scenarios are, partial adoption or full adoption.... both subject to DoH implementation timing. I do like the fact that the SABTO committee itself has been touted as being influential. I also like the fact that there has been a substantial amount of public pressure in the UK on this issue... Makes it much tougher for DoH to duck the issue. I frankly expect them to be proactive even despite budget pressures. Its a miniscule rounding error in the overall scheme of things, yet it puts public pressure to rest.... and dont forget it frees up the potential for the UK to reduce reliance on Blood imports, and turn back to their own supply. Even a partial adoption is still great news for PLI. You have to believe it would be focussed AT LEAST on high risk, pediatrics, and the whole blood collection system.
Regardless, a positive recommendation gives latitude to other countries and furthers the whole process.
