That this House congratulates the BMA on the launch of its campaign for a radical review of the organ donation system, which is supported by a wide group of professional and patient groups; welcomes the BMS's report Organ Donation in the 21st Century: Time for a Consolidated Approach, endorsed by organisations including the Patients Association, Royal College of General Practitioners, Transplants in Mind and the National Kidney Federation, as a significant contribution to stimulating an informed public debate; notes that over 5,000 people are on the active national transplant waiting list in the United Kingdom at a time when the gap between the number of organs available and people awaiting a transplant is continuing to increase; believes that a more positive view of organ donation should be encouraged to increase the availability of organs for transplantation; recommends changes to the existing organisational structure and established practice, including the development of a national transplant service, an expanded network of organ donor co-ordination, addressing the shortage of transplant surgeons, and increasing the number of critical care beds; recognises the inability of the current system to meet increasing demands; and calls for the Government to initiate a radical review of the whole system, including a thorough review of the existing legislation.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 11 April 2000
That this House is concerned that a dominant market position is currently held by Dixons-owned stores in relation to the sale of home PCs, and believes that the 1999 Office of Fair Trading review of the home PC market was seriously flawed; furthermore believes that the existence of a single retailer with over 25 per cent. of the retail PC market (the Dixons group of stores) using exclusive supply arrangements with the major branded PC manufacturers such as Compaq may constitute a potential abuse of its dominant market position which could be said to be anti-competitive, restricts adequate consumer choice and inhibits the development of an inclusive society; and urges the Office of Fair Trading to re-open its inquiry and to publish the methodology and research it used to determine its 1999 decision.

That this House regrets that an estimated 200 people die each year awaiting life-saving organ transplants while fewer than one third of those willing to allow their organs to be used carry donor cards; notes that where potential donors have not indicated consent in advance, relatives have to guess their views at a time of maximum of stress, and that in many cases organs are wasted when the deceased would not have objected to their use to save lives; recommends the establishment of a register of those refusing consent to the use of their organs and then to assume consent in adults not on the register unless relatives object; and welcomes the Organ Transplants (Presumed Consent) Bill to be introduced on 11th April.
