	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	200975
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p>Organ donation following death outside of hospital is not broadly practiced in the United Kingdom. For organs to remain viable and suitable for transplantation, they must either be kept supplied with oxygen, blood and nutrients, or kept cold so that the metabolism of the cells is slowed right down. When someone's heart stops beating suddenly, the blood supply to organs stop and the cells begin to get starved of oxygen and nutrients and start to die. Therefore, there is a very narrow window of a few minutes between the heart stopping beating and the need for organs to be removed and preserved.</p><p> </p><p>A pilot programme is underway in Edinburgh for retrieval of organs from those who suffer a witnessed cardiac arrest from which they are unable to be resuscitated and are brought within minutes to the hospital. NHS Blood and Transplant is supporting this pilot and, depending on the outcome, will support further similar initiatives.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, health care professionals need to obtain consent and get a full medical history to ensure the organs are suitable for transplantation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 24/06/2014 14:19:29 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
