Organ donation bill passes clauses stage
An opt-out organ donation system looks likely to come into force on the Island by the summer.
That's the view of Garff MHK Martyn Perkins after his Organ Donation and Human Tissue Bill passed through the clauses stage.
Third readings are due in both the House of Keys and the Legislative Council before it's sent for Royal Assent.
Mr Perkins says evidence elsewhere suggests an opt-out system can help transform lives:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Bowring Road Tesco store closed following incident in the car park
