A Bill to establish a system of mandated choice for the donation of organs and tissues; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
8 April 2010
This bill would require adults to make a clear decision about whether they want to donate their organs and tissues after death and have that decision officially recorded. It would create a national system to capture and access each person's donation choice when organ donation could take place. It would also set out how people can make, change or revoke their decision and how the recorded choice interacts with the organ donation system.
