answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s consultation on deemed consent for organ and tissue donation in England closed on 6 March 2018. The consultation sought views on how a new system of deemed consent for deceased donation could work in England and proposed a change in the current law on organ donation, to better reflect the position of the majority of people who would be happy to donate their organs and tissue after their death. This included the ability to refuse to consent to donation, so that the decisions of those who do not wish to be organ and tissue donors are also respected.</p><p> </p><p>An impact assessment was published as part of the Government’s public consultation, which set out the costs involved in moving to a new deemed consent system in England. This suggested that, when introduced as part of a wider communication and logistical package, such a system can be associated with higher donation rates. As part of the consultation, we invited further evidence to be submitted and will carefully now consider this before the Government responds.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price grouped question UIN 132394 question first answered 16/03/2018 12:03:20 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
