Annual Report on Organ Utilisation

The Annual Report on Organ Utilisation provides information on the use of organs that have been offered. This report looks at patterns of usage of the 5 major solid organs from deceased donors that meet UK organ offering criteria.

The report examines the utilisation of offered organs as well as those that were subsequently retrieved by the National Organ Retrieval Service. It also presents reasons for organ offer decline and for non-transplantation after retrieval. Importantly, the data presented within this report allows comparisons over time, and between different organs and transplant centres. Data are presented on the last financial year and compared with the 9 years prior to this.
