THE SUN DONOR CARD CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 598, tabled 4 April 2000 by Paul Marsden (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House welcomes The Sun newspaper's donor card campaign, which highlights for fact that 4,000 patients are in need of transplants each year; notes that, whilst 18 million donor cards are in circulation, only 12 million people carry them; urges The Sun's 10 million readers to carry donor cards and register their support with the NHS Organ Donor Register; and supports the Government in its aim of increasing the number of people carrying donor cards and reducing the transplant waiting lists.
