Finally, I compliment the pioneering surgical teams who have led the fight in this campaign over the years and given a new lease of life to many people. They have also given a sense of purpose and achievement to the unfortunate people who became donors due to accidents or whatever the case. There was something for those unfortunate people where otherwise there might be little satisfaction in the midst of their sorrow. We should recognise and compliment all involved in those particular circumstances over the years and wish them well in the future.
