HC Deb 15 June 1989 vol 154 c531W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Health of he will list by year for the last 10 years, the number of times a recipient receiving a transplanted organ from a donor has been infected by a disease from the donor that was not diagnosed at the time; if he will show in his answer the type of disease; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

Comprehensive information is not collected centrally, but the number of cases of disease transmitted through transplants is believed to be very small.
