Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Organ Donation: Discussion

11:05 am

Mr. Shane Finnegan:

I would like members to take the following away from today's meeting. Everybody is aware of the advances in terms of organ donation in the UK during the past five years. It has been very positive. Why then is Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland moving to a system of soft opt-out? The answer is because they can see another 50% increase in organ donation as a result. That is the bottom line.
