Mr. Michael Kiely:

People often assume that organ donation primarily follows a road accident, the number of which nationally is high.

In reality, very little comes from that source. Donation occurs mostly from when people get head trauma, bleeding in the brain and such conditions. People are kept alive to be brought to hospital, and there should be more resources put into sustaining people on ventilators. These are the examples of where organs are available and why we need co-ordinators. The doctors travelling with emergency cases should sustain life until patients get to a trauma centre so they can be looked after properly.
