CIVIL SERVICE union PCS leader Mark Serwotka was recovering in hospital yesterday following a successful heart transplant.
Mr Serwotka had been kept alive by a mechanical pump for the last two years. He suffered heart failure after contracting a virus in 2010 and was readmitted to hospital in August when the pump developed a clot and his doctors then placed him on the urgent transplant list.
Medics at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire were very happy with how the new heart is performing following the operation at the weekend, the union reported.
