Ms Phyllis Cunningham:

I would not like to call it a trick, but a great deal is involved. Everything is important. We need public awareness. It is important that families have been able to discuss and decide on this matter in normal times. Making that decision is difficult and those people are wonderful. Co-ordination is important, but so are other factors. Families have declined to make donations - we do not like to use the word "refused" - because they did not know what their loved ones wanted. People regret that they were unable to make this decision.

Many people want to donate. I have been involved in this field for a long time. When I discussed the matter with the members of my family, they wanted to be donors, but they never got cards. It is not an issue one wishes to raise with one's children, but if people do not want to donate and if they can record that-----
