Ms Mary Jackson:

I would like to add one further point. I am not sure if it was said in the course of the discussion thus far, but an example of the commitment of the system to working to improve the position is the €3.5 million allocated to the living kidney donor programme in the HSE's service plan for 2013. At a time of very constrained resources, this is an important commitment. We know that transplantation is better for a patient and adds value to the system.
