Organs: Donors
(asked on 13th January 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many organs were donated for transplant in 2024.
The following table shows the number of organs donated, the number of donors, and the number and percentage of organs donated that were transplanted, from the UK Transplant Registry, between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024, as of 10 January 2025:
United Kingdom solid organ donor type | Number of donors | Organs donated | Organs transplanted |
Living donors | 938 | 938 | 938 (100%) |
Deceased donors | 1,385 | 4,513 | 3,787 (84%) |
Note: there are many reasons why organs cannot be transplanted, including the organ being clinically unsuitable.
Figures are subject to change due to the delayed notification of living organ donor transplants and the current proximity to the end of 2024.
