Email from ROSS FINNIE MSP in reply to my
email regarding the gay blood ban
------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you very much indeed for
the email explaining your campaign on the
gay and bisexual blood ban which operates
within the UK to be lifted. I commend your
actions on this matter and share your view
that the present situation is celarly inequitable.
I am sure you will be aware that Stonewall,
Scotland, is currently calling on the Scottish
Parliament and Scottish Government to put
pressure on the Scottish National Blood
Transfusion Service to update its current
outdated and homophobic regulations.
To give some support to your effort I shall
try to put down some questions to the Health
Minister on this matter.
