Organ Donation and Transplants
Transplants are the most effective treatment for organ failure. There is a need to increase the number of organs donated. The Human Transplantation (Wales) Bill passed by the National Assembly for Wales revises the current opt-in consent procedure for donations to deemed consent. A new UK strategy sets out policy intended to improve organ transplant rates. This POSTnote examines this and other policies to increase the availability of donor organs in the UK.
