More than 25,000 people donated last year, but we still need another 4,000 to step up just to meet demand.
Sam Cliff is the Chief Executive of New Zealand Blood Service and is with us.
Morning, Sam.
Good morning.
Thanks very much for coming into the studio.
I'm fascinated by the research.
So apparently 88% of us support donating, but only 4% of people actually do it.
There's a lot of admin involved.
What's the age limit?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I see.
Now, Sam, you're going to have to fix something for me.
So I had this conversation on air last week about me not knowing what my blood type is.
And apparently, and I can't get to the bottom of it.
How do you know what your blood type is if you're a fully grown adult?
OK, so is it in your records?
So if I turned up to donate to you guys, you'd look me up and go, oh, your OPOS.
How do you figure out?
You want to give some blood?
