I am advised by the Health Service Executive that the specific factors involved in determining priority for patients on an organ transplant waiting list is a clinical decision made by the transplant clinicians in each of the national transplant centres.

Allocation policies for kidney, heart, lung and liver are available on the website of HSE's Organ Donation and Transplant Ireland, www.odti.ie. When an organ becomes available for transplant the decision on allocation is made by the relevant national transplant centre in accordance with these policies.
