First Taskforce Report
The ODTF published its first report ‘Organs for Transplants’ on 16 January 2008.
In the report, the Taskforce makes 14 recommendations to the Government, which could see a 50 per cent increase in organ donation in the UK within five years - resulting in an additional 1,200 transplants a year and saving thousands of lives. The report proposes a radical shift from existing arrangements for the UK’s transplantation system. Together with other measures to improve donor coordination services this could result in a 10% increase in the consent rate for donation (currently at 60%).

“[In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].”
