Allocation of organs to non-UK EU residents (31st July 2009)
This independent report to clarify the rules on organ transplants for NHS patients and non-UK EU residents was commissioned by the former Health Secretary Alan Johnson in March 2009, following concerns about the number of organs from deceased UK donors being transplanted into non-UK resident EU nationals each year. The report’s recommendations, which have been broadly accepted by the Department of Health, will help to ensure public confidence in the fairness and transparency of the organ allocation system.
