A shortage of organ donations has resulted in the deaths of 44 Northamptonshire residents in the past five years, the NHS has said.
There are 146 people in Northamptonshire waiting for a transplant this Christmas and NHS Blood and Transplant is highlighting the figures as it asks people to talk to their families over the festive period about their decision to be an organ donor.
NHS Blood and Transplant has also released the results of a survey showing that only one in 20 people in England and Wales spending time with family at Christmas will be discussing organ donation.
