2.   She had to wait for over a year before a donor organ became available.

3.   There is a chronic shortage of donor organs.

4.   This allowed for fairly good availability of well selected donor organs thus more easily facilitating an urgent transplant programme.

5.   Transplant programmes are being held back because of a shortage of donor organs, and more are urgently needed.
