My daughter with #cysticfibrosisis is in #TheQueue for a new liver. There are 7,000 terminally ill children & adults suffering. The #Queens #funeral & the coronation is estimated to cost 6 billion £s. I would prefer #NHS were given infrastructure to solve the transplant problem.

THE PUBLIC DON'T REALISE that being on a transplant list is like holding a ticking time bomb. At any moment, you could die or get taken off the list to die, as too weak for #transplant . Months pass on a knife edge, waiting for the call to an op, which you may or may not survive

@LONGJOHN_HM Yes, money is the issue, because if you improve the infrastructure as Spain did then you will retrieve more donor organs . They have well over twice the number of ACTUAL donors as the UK. They had one of worst donation rates in Europe before.

Hi @eliistender10 I am the mum of a child with #cysticfibrosis . You may know me from my GREATEST HITS like "What do you mean my daughter can't have a drug that can give her 23 extra years of life?" and "Can you sign our petition please?"

PEOPLE DON'T REALISE - being on a transplant list is like holding a ticking time bomb. At any time, you could die or get taken off the list to die, too weak for #transplant . Years pass living on a knife edge. Endless waiting, for the call which may or may not save your life.

SHOUT ABOUT THIS TO YOUR MP!! #ICU beds are essential for #OrganDonation & #Transplants . Our consultant says ICU units are so busy there is no time for donation to take place. Also transplants are cancelled if no bed available for recovering recepients @hotnewsx @ShaunLintern

WE MUST CALL FOR AN INQUIRY into why 1000s die on UK #transplant list or having been taken off it because they are too ill, having waited too long. Spain does not have the same problem. @GOVUK @NHSBT stop blaming lack of #donors . Drs say our system is to blame. SAVE LIVES & MONEY

NO EXCUSE for #UK not having #transplant service as good as Spanish NHS (world leader >30yrs) esp as proven to save 100s of millions of £s. Those waiting for transplant, often over 20yrs for a #kidney , cost @NHS & @DHSCgovuk a fortune. Copy Spain @SteveBarclay @NHSEngland @NHS RT

THOSE WHO NEED #TRANSPLANTS & LUCKY TRANSPLANTEES: please keep publicising #OrganDonation / #Transplantation on FB, Twitter, Instagram etc. We need to tell the British public that ANYONE can die for want of an #organ & we ALL need to talk to family, as they have to give consent ❤️

FAMILIES NEEDING #TRANSPLANT : Grab some OD stickers & talk to people in the street about #OrganDonation . Offer a sticker for the back of their phone. Inform them family has to give consent as nobody knows. If we all did this, think of the impact! People are happy to listen.

@SBakerMD Probably because they are enlightened about the state of the planet and massive animal suffering.

Six years ago the life of beautiful Keeva was saved thanks to an amazing angel in the sky. Her mummy Kerrie shares her gratitude to the amazing person & their courageous family who saved the #life of her gorgeous daughter by agreeing to #OrganDonation ❤️

. @Chriztopher84 Thks for following & good luck in the NHSE job. UK desperately needs the 35yr world beating Spanish #OrganDonation / #Transplant system. It saves lives & millions £s. ATM, 1000s suffer & die waiting. My #CF daughter will die soon without a liver @share_wishes RT ❤️

UK PUBLIC : You may be unhappy with the state of the #NHS but please don't deny consent when it comes to #OrganDonation . The only people it hurts are the terminally ill on the #Transplant list like my young daughter, Sarah. #Save9Lives #LiverTwitter

Please don't prevent your loved ones from donating their organs. They can live on, never forgotten, in up to 9 of the most grateful people who would have died without them. My young daughter will not survive long without a donor liver. #WorldLiverDay #LiverTwitter #OrganDonation

If you needed a lifesaving organ , would you take one ? If so plse think of the 7, 000 UK children & adullts needing #Transplants & make your family aware of your wishes as they would make the final decision, even if you have signed the #OrganDonorRegister . Rediculous! @NHSBT RT
