Background
Current UK organ-donation policy excludes British nationals who live abroad but die in the UK, even when they have indicated clear consent to donate. The residency restriction means willing donors are excluded, resulting in missed opportunities to save lives.
Additional details
We therefore ask the Government to amend legislation to allow donation in cases where explicit consent exists, regardless of residence status
