Sir,
I’m writing to let your readers know that right now in Scotland there are 396 people currently waiting for a kidney transplant, and every single day in the UK one person will die while waiting for their kidney. This has to change.
Most people don’t want to think about their kidneys, but the reality is that one in eight people will develop chronic kidney disease which can affect their general health and may ultimately mean they might need dialysis or a transplant in order to stay alive.
