§ Mr. Simeonsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied with the effectiveness of the kidney donor card scheme; and if he will make a statement.

We hope to see not only an increase in the number of kidney transplants but an improvement in the recipient's chances of getting a kidney which is closely matched with his own.
