With the ever-increasing need for the health service to save much needed funds, but to ensure good patient care, the demands upon the charity grow each year.

In the beginning only Surrey and Outer London Hospitals required or saw the need for this service, now there are three counties who require the service with more requesting it each year.

SERV needs to grow to meet the increasing demands being placed upon it, but this growth, as explained in previous sections of this booklet, is restricted to its ability to fund and maintain the service. The willingness to do so is there, as is the availability of members to back up the service. The stumbling block is FUNDS, though the membership is determined to try its hardest to meet the needs of the medical section and supply the service that is so obviously needed.

With help this service can grow and help to save more lives, by saving the hospitals money as well as providing a quick and reliable means of Transporting Emergency Blood at night.
