Like others, I thank and congratulate the witnesses for their presentations and their responses. The success or failure of any campaign depends entirely on public confidence in how this is done and the degree to which that is satisfied. Professor Egan mentioned the hasty retrieval, responding to a point around the Chairman's donor card - not that we would ever wish that. Following the last speaker's observations, we must be particularly conscious of the donors who in very trying circumstances over a long number of years have made donations. That also applies to live donors.
In the event of an accident, what are the procedures to ensure that there is not a hasty retrieval while living up to the expectations of the legislation?
