ORGAN DONATION AND PRESUMED CONSENT

Early day motion 910, tabled 23 February 2010 by Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 36 members.

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Welsh Assembly Government that Wales will move to a system of presumed consent, based on a soft opt-out system for organ donation; congratulates the patients and organisations, led by the Kidney Wales Foundation, on persuading the Welsh Assembly Government to take this step; recognises the overwhelming public support for such a move; and, following a free vote in the National Assembly for Wales, looks forward to supporting that move in this House, alongside a strengthened infrastructure to support the change.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 7, Plaid Cymru 3, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1.
