description Eighteen patients have been referred for lung transplantations from Northern Ireland in 1986-1990. Fourteen were accepted but only four achieved transplantation. These rates are lower than for comparable regions in the North of England. The lung donation rate from Northern Ireland during the same period was similar to that for the United Kingdom as a whole. The low referral and transplant rates for Northern Ireland require reassessment of the procedures involved.
