The answer to the question is set out in the following table. Figures for Scotland are also included for comparison purposes. Lung and heart/lung transplantation is undertaken on the basis of a contractual arrangement with the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. All other transplant activity undertaken outwith Scotland is funded on a cost per case basis in line with the risk share agreement NHS National Services Scotland has in place with NHS England.
