Yvette Cooper, Labour MP for Pontefract and Castleford, said she welcomed any action which would mean additional doctors at the hospital, but she believed it was not a long-term solution.
Professor John Dark, head of the heart and lung transplant unit at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle Upon Tyne, told BBC News Online that the solution used by the Swedish team to preserve the lung had probably also helped to improve its function.
Chief Nursing Officer, Professor Christine Beasley said there was no single solution and the new proposals were part of a wider set of measures to reduce hospital-acquired infections.
