Statistics on transplants for Irish patients
Dear Department of Health,
I write to you to request statistics on patients who are citizens of the Republic of Ireland (ROI) who travelled to England to receive transplants from 2010-2015.
- The number of ROI patients who travelled to England to receive transplants under the NHS (from 2010-2015).
-The hospitals (or the location of hospitals if hospital name cannot be disclosed) that they were treated in and the number of ROI transplant patients per hospital/location (from 2010-2015).
-Reasons given for transplant e.g. cystic fibrosis.
-A breakdown of the age of the ROI patients who travelled for transplants between 2010 and 2015.
Yours faithfully,
Mary McDonnell
