Organ donors should let family know of intensions, says NHS More than 450 relatives of organ donors declined permission to donate as they were unsure of their relatives' wishes in 2016, figures have shown.
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) says families are reluctant to give their loved one's organs to patients.
Last year, 457 people died while on the active transplant waiting list, and currently there are 6,414 patients waiting for organs.
NHSBT says donors should ensure they have told relatives of their wishes. BBC News
