HC Deb 30 March 2004 vol 419 c1333W
Mrs. Iris Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether relatives of those who had coroners' post mortems will be invited to planned memorials for the victims of organ retention in Northern Ireland. [164577]

Angela Smith

The Department is engaged in ongoing discussions with Belfast city council, Derry city council and the Relatives' Reference Group about the location of suitable memorials for those affected by the retention of human organs and tissue. Relatives of those who were affected, whether through coroners' or hospital post mortem examinations, will be most welcome to attend any future service of dedication of the memorials.
