Agenda item

Notification of any items of business which the chair deems urgent

In special circumstances, an item of business may be added to an agenda within five clear working days of the meeting.

Minutes:

2.1  The chair stated that although this item has not been deemed urgent, he has been alerted to reports in the media that King’s College Hospital has performed liver transplants on 19 patents from the European Union and other countries, and concerns have been raised that patients might have been given organs that could have gone to British NHS recipients. The chair commented that it is very worrying if there has been queue jumping. The chair indicated that he would ask questions of delegates from King’s later on in the meeting.
