WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2014
Question
Could the Minister confirm whether the study into the Organ Donation system in Jersey (P.89/2013 adopted 24th September 2013) has commenced and, if so, when it is intended to report back to the States?
Answer
Yes. I can confirm that initial work is already underway to review the research undertaken in 2013, with a view to determining what additional work may be needed to develop proposals for increasing donor registration and donation in Jersey.
Deputy Le Hérissier's question comes at an opportune time, as I am in the process of establishing a small review group – which will include expert clinical input – to take this work forward over the coming months.
Given Deputy Le Hérissier's ongoing interest in this issue, I hope he will accept my invitation to become involved in that work, to consider options and develop recommendations for the future.
In line with this work, it is my intention to bring an interim report back to the States, as agreed, by the end of the year.
