A landmark report has been launched to tackle a national crisis in organ donation.

One of those families who helped shape the report was our very own Jess. Her husband Paul died in a car accident near Harrogate in 2018 aged 35, and Jess made the decision when she was told there was nothing more doctors could do to save Paul’s life.

Jess said: “Paul was the kind of person who would do anything for anyone, so when the time came, there was no hesitation in saying yes to organ donation. Although we’d never had a serious conversation about it, we once joked about it, and that stayed with me. In the darkest moment of my life, knowing the sort of person Paul was made the decision clear.

I find so much comfort in knowing that people are alive today because of him. Their families still get to see them, speak to them, laugh with them and that brings me enormous pride.

“Knowing Paul didn’t die in vain has helped me navigate my grief and explain to our children that their daddy is a real-life superhero.”

The NHS transplant waiting list is at a record high with thousands of people waiting and dying before they get an organ. The Government has vowed to act and published a report with a series of key recommendations to reverse a trend which has seen the rate of bereaved families supporting donation plummet to 59%, down from 68% before the Covid-19 pandemic
