A spokeswoman for the NHS said: “Every minute of every day someone in Scotland receives blood as part of a life saving or life improving treatment. Less than 4 per cent of the population currently give blood.
"The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) must welcome 3,500 blood donors each week to meet the needs of patients in Scotland.
“We aim to maintain a six day supply of each blood group, at all times, to continue to meet hospital requirements.”
