Dear Ms Anderson

 

Please find below the responses to your official information request which
was transferred to New Zealand Blood Service by the Ministry of Health on
7 May 2019.

 

People active on the list at the start of 2017 – 491

People taken off the list during 2017 – 241

Number of people who died on the list during 2017 – Unfortunately NZBS
does not hold this data

People active on the list at the end of 2017 – 451

 

During the course of the year, patients can be temporarily taken off the
list due to ill health, surgical procedures, extended holidays etc. as
they are at that time unavailable to be considered for transplant.

 

I hope these answers are helpful.

 

Regards

 

Sam Cliffe
