Dear Geoff Lovell
Re: Information request
Thank you for your request dated 19^th October 2021 for information from
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) as stipulated below:
Would you publish the NHS policy on Kidney Transplants for the over 65’s
and are there any conflicts with regard to age discrimination?
Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 NHSBT is obliged to:
o Let you know whether we hold the information you have requested
o Provide you with the requested information, if held, (subject to any
exemptions under the Act which may apply).
I can confirm that NHSBT does not hold the information you have requested.
NHSBT does not have a policy for 'Kidney transplants for the over 65s' or
any other age dependant kidney policy.
In order to provide some advice and assistance under our Section 16 duties
we are able to offer the following information:
Policies and guidance relating to kidney transplantation can be accessed
via the following link.
[2]https://www.odt.nhs.uk/transplantation/k...
You may wish to contact NHS England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
for any NHS policies covering kidney transplantation as we can only
provide NHSBT policies.
NHSBT also publishes an Annual Activity Report which can be accessed via
the following link.

We hope that this has dealt with your request for information, however,
should you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to request that we
conduct an internal review of the way we have handled your request. If you
would like us to conduct such a review, as per guidance from the
Information Commissioners Office (ICO) please contact us within forty
working days of this letter. Please quote the reference number above in
any future communications.
If you are still dissatisfied following the internal review, you have the
right under Section 50 of the FOIA to appeal against the decision by
contacting the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) The ICO provides
full and detailed guidance on the FOIA and on when and how to complain.
Please find below the link to their website page and their helpline
