On giving and receiving an organ donation

More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need a transplant, and of these, 1000 die every year before they receive an organ. Last year 28-year-old singer-songwriter Sarah Springett donated one of her kidneys to her boyfriend Paul Shepherd after his kidney condition worsened. As the NHS launches a new campaign to encourage more people to sign the Organ Donor Register, Jane talks to Sarah and Paul about their experience, and is joined by NHS organ transplant czar Dr Chris Rudge.
