§ Mr. SwayneTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the organ donor card scheme; and if he will make a statement; [128898]
(2) how many transplant operations were carried out last year where the donor was identified as a consequence of carrying a donor card. [128897]
§ Mr. DenhamThis information requested is not available centrally.
Our current organ donation campaign, launched in 1998, is ongoing. It 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.
