That this House welcomes the establishment of an inquiry into the removal of body tissue and organs over many years from Children at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool; believes that the credibility of the inquiry will be measured by its scope and thoroughness; notes that the catchment area of the hospital covers the North West of England, North Wales and beyond; and trusts that appropriate measures will be taken to identify and assist any affected parents in this wide area who have evidence which they may wish to give to the inquiry.
