Life on the List

Episode 2 of 2

Charting how the transplant system is in crisis. The human story behind the increasing number of patients whose lives are on hold as they wait for an organ.

Due to an aging population, alcohol and obesity, the demand for transplant organs - livers, kidneys, lungs and hearts - is set to explode over the next ten years. But there is already a critical shortage of these organs. Three people in the UK die waiting for a transplant every day, and 10,000 sit on the Transplant Waiting List. With the system in crisis, this series has exclusive access to Scotland's entire transplant service.

The two-part documentary tells the human story behind the ever-growing numbers of patients whose lives are on hold, desperately waiting for an organ to become available.
