Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate has he made of the number of people on an organ transplant list who have (a) died and (b) become too unwell to receive a transplant between April and June 2020.

Data from NHS Blood and Transplant shows that, unfortunately, between April and June 2020, 140 patients died whilst waiting for an organ on the transplant list and 53 patients were removed from the waiting list due to their condition deteriorating. This compares to 95 and 78 patients, respectively, in the same period in 2019.
