HC Deb 04 July 2000 vol 353 c144W
Mr. Swayne

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to introduce legislation to secure a greater supply of organs for transplant; and if he will make a statement. [128113]

Mr. Denham

We have no plans at this time to introduce legislation to change the way in which organs are donated for transplant.

Our current publicity campaign, which was launched in 1998, is on-going and encourages people to join the National Health Service Organ Donor Register, carry the donor card and, most importantly, discuss their wishes with their friends and family.
