HC Deb 30 November 1995 vol 267 c865W
Mr. Churchill

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what further plans he has to advertise the existence of the national organ donor scheme. [3133]

Mr. Horam

Since we launched the national health service organ donor register in October 1994 over 2¼million people have applied to join, of which some 800,000 had joined when applying for a driving licence or registering with a general practitioner. We have been monitoring the effectiveness of the different ways used to encourage people to join and plan further publicity initiatives for early in the new year.
