The apheresis working group was established in 2024 to provide independent advice to the Department on issues around apheresis capacity and the resilience of the United Kingdom’s stem cell supply. The group has submitted an internal, interim report to ministers for consideration and is currently working to gather additional data to strengthen the evidence base of this report, before proceeding to publication.
