The HSE, through its National Organ Donation and Transplantation Office, in conjunction with my Department, has identified priority areas for action, including the deployment of additional donor coordinators, to enhance the organ donation and transplantation system. These proposals are being considered in the context of the Health Estimate for 2014 and the development of the HSE's National Service Plan 2014.
