Graham met with representatives of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and families affected by cystic fibrosis at an event at the House of Commons on Tuesday 25 June.
Graham said: “One in three of those with cystic fibrosis who are on the transplant list will die waiting. Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening genetic condition affecting 10,000 people in the UK. New treatments and better clinical care are helping people with cystic fibrosis to live longer but many will still reach a point where their only hope is a double lung transplant.
“It was eye opening to learn first-hand some of the issues that affect my constituents living with cystic fibrosis. I was also able to learn about the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and find out more about their open consultation looking at the issues affecting the number of lung transplants for people with cystic fibrosis.”
