From: Jacob

Dear New Zealand Blood and Organ Service,

I am curious to understand what reasoning is behind the decision to prevent former leukaemia and lymphoma patients from donating blood.

Could I please request any formal documents that support this decision?

If there are none, could I please receive a written summary of clinical advice?

I am also happy to receive links to publicly available information.

Yours faithfully,

Jacob
