answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2023 answer text <p>The United Kingdom strongly supports the core aims of the Council of Europe Convention Against Trafficking in Human Organs and meets these through existing legislation which sets out that in the UK valid consent must always be received before an organ transplant proceeds and that no organ transplant may take place for financial gain. The convention has not yet been ratified and further detailed work would be required before this could take place. This would be to ensure that our domestic law and practice, including in the devolved administrations, meets the procedural and other requirements of the convention.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 20/01/2023 12:54:40 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2023 answer text <p>The Government is taking a number of steps to help prevent commercial transplant tourism by United Kingdom nationals. Last year, we amended the Health and Care Act to make it an offence for residents of Great Britain and most UK nationals to pay for the supply of an organ, pay for an offer to supply an organ, or seek somebody willing to supply an organ for payment anywhere in the world.</p><p>The Government is now working closely with NHS Blood and Transplant, the Human Tissue Authority, National Crime Agency, Crown Prosecution Service and others to build the UK’s capacity to identify, investigate and prosecute transplant tourists and anyone else involved in organ trafficking or in the trafficking in persons for their organs. This work, combined with long-term efforts to improve the supply of ethically retrieved organs for transplantation, will help to remove any incentives for UK patients to purchase an organ overseas.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 20/01/2023 12:58:05 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
