Organ Donation And Presumed Consent

EDM number 910 in 2009-10, proposed by Hywel Williams on 23/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Medical ethics.

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Welsh Assembly Government that Wales will move to a system of presumed consent, based on a soft opt-out system for organ donation; congratulates the patients and organisations, led by the Kidney Wales Foundation, on persuading the Welsh Assembly Government to take this step; recognises the overwhelming public support for such a move; and, following a free vote in the National Assembly for Wales, looks forward to supporting that move in this House, alongside a strengthened infrastructure to support the change.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
