We are signed up to the European project on convalescent blood plasma therapy. I asked weeks ago for a report on how that is going. The results are promising. I understand there are apheresis machines for the extraction of blood plasma in St. James's Hospital and that 500 people who have recovered from Covid-19 have offered to make donations, but those machines are not being used to extract that blood plasma. I would like to know what is happening there.
