New donation and transplant plan
More donors, more transplants, more lives saved.
A new Donation and Transplantation Plan for Scotland has been launched recently which aims to increase the number of donors and transplants in order to save more lives.
The plan will build on Scotland’s success of having more than two million Scots on the NHS Organ Donor Register, the highest rate of any UK country, as well as increasing deceased donation rates by over 74 per cent since 2008, compared to a UK-wide increase of 50 per cent.
The new Scottish plan complements the new UK Strategy, Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020, which is also published today, and which seeks to achieve world-class performance by increasing donation and transplant rates over the next seven years.
