Black and Asian people represent about 10% of the UK population, according to NHS Blood and Transplant – but they make up more than a quarter of those waiting for a transplant.

On the Sky News Daily podcast with Dermot Murnaghan, we hear from Karen Bahia – whose two-year-old son needs a kidney – and Azeem Ahmad, who is a living donor. Plus, Kiran Bhangal from our radio team and Altaf Kazi from NHS Blood and Transplant discuss the reasons and possible solutions to the issue.
