Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion
Mr. Michael Conroy:
All hospitals with the required facilities provided organ donors in the past five years. The situation has changed slightly since the appointment of a donation nurse to each of the six hospital groups. One can argue that is not enough, but they have had an impact, on which we hope to build. I agree with Senator Mark Daly that spikes were evident in small hospitals where, obviously, a person was spreading the message of organ donation and it was having an impact.
