Will you be meeting with your provincial colleagues and Canadian Blood Services representatives over the next few months? What measures will you take to define the problems and find short- and medium-term solutions to move this forward? Over the last 10 years, there has been a certain stagnation. Things have improved somewhat, but there is still a lot of work to do. The fact remains that only 250 people per year receive an organ donation.
Someone once asked me what the ideal number of people on the list would be. Obviously, the answer is zero. No one should be on a waiting list, and face being told that there will be no organ donation for them.
What meetings is your department planning in order to exercise its leadership in this area?
