Summary Activity Liver waiting list has risen since last year to 682 patients Significant centre variation in offer decline rates Approx 800 adult and 90 paediatric patients transplanted each year Patient outcomes Long-term patient survival has improved - adults: 20% in 1970/80s vs 50% in 2000s; paediatrics: 40% in 1970/80s vs 80% in 2000s By centre survival from listing and survival post-transplantation at five years generally statistically consistent with the national survival rate National Liver Offering Scheme Implemented 20th March 2018 Designed to improve matching of organs at a patient level rather than by hospital. Will be updated in Autumn 2022
