WQ.82/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY L.K.F. STEPHENSON OF ST. MARY, ST. OUEN AND ST. PETER QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd MARCH 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th MARCH 2025
Question
"Will the Minister set out for each of the full years from 2017 (inclusive) the number of organ donations that have occurred in Jersey from both deceased and living donors, including, if possible, the number of donors involved in those donations; and will he further state the number of people living in Jersey who are currently awaiting a transplant?"
Answer
Since 2017 (inclusive) there have been 8 completed donors from which there have been:
• 14 kidney transplants
• 4 liver transplants
• 1 pair of lungs
• 4 Hearts for valves
There were also organs donated that were unsuitable for transplant, however these were all donated to Research programmes.
• 2 kidneys
• 1 liver
• 1 pancreas
In 2017, there was a further donation that went to theatre, but on examination was found to have enlarged lymph nodes. Liver & kidneys were retrieved and transferred to centres on the mainland however the biopsy could not exclude a malignancy, and they were disposed of.
HCJ services work with the centralised Organ Donation Service led by NHS Blood and Transplant across the United Kingdom. Our organ donation figures are included in the UK's demographic.
Currently, there are 7 patients in Jersey awaiting a transplant.
