Transplant Surgery: Waiting Lists

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people were on the transplant waiting list in (a) Bedfordshire (b) Cambridgeshire and (c) Hertfordshire in (i) 2023/24, (ii) 2024/25 and (iii) 2025/26.

Answer

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is responsible for organ donation in the United Kingdom and manages the NHS Organ Donor Register and national transplant waiting list.

NHSBT publishes data on the transplant waiting list at the link below, including breakdowns by transplant centre:

However, NHSBT does not publish waiting list data by patients' place of residence and therefore county-level breakdowns are not available.
