Liz Houghton: Losing My 20-Year-Old Son & How To Keep Living When Your World Ends

What was said

"And the CEO at the time said, "Do you know what? This is a problem we've got. Um 95% of families want to know or even live donors want to know and only 11% ever hear.""

Liz Houghton says that after her son Will’s organ donation she contacted NHS Blood and Transplant about how donor families receive follow-up information. She recalls the chief executive at the time saying most donor families and some living donors want to know outcomes, but only 11% do.
