Kidneys: Transplant Surgery
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have had a kidney transplant on the NHS in the last 12 months.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
NHS Blood and Transplant is the organisation responsible for organ donation in the United Kingdom, and they manage the NHS Organ Donor Register and National Transplant Register.
Between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025, 3,381 individual patients received a kidney transplant from 3,385 donors. 2,373 were from deceased donors and 1,012 were from living donors. Of the 3,381 patients that received a kidney transplant, four received two transplants within this period.
This is a United Kingdom four nation service and I am proud of its achievements.
