(asked on 30th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many UK citizens travelled to China for organ transplants in the last 12 months.
This question was answered on 9th May 2018
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is responsible for organ donation in the United Kingdom. To monitor the number of patients who have undergone transplant surgery abroad, NHSBT contacts transplant and satellite units annually to request details of patients who have been transplanted abroad and have then come to the UK for follow-up.
NHSBT has no record of any UK citizen travelling to China for an organ transplant in the last 12 months.
