Business question from Madeleine Moon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 December 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate on whether people should have to opt out of kidney transplantation, rather than opt in to it? My constituent, Mark Schofield, recently travelled to the Philippines in an attempt to buy a kidney for £40,000, when the one donated by his mother Jean failed. We are now at the stage where 380 people in Wales are waiting for kidney transplants. Could we consider moving the situation forward, to an opt-out rather than an opt-in?
