Transplantation (Authorisation of Removal of Organs etc.) (Scotland) Bill

As an amendment to motion S4M-15128 in the name of Anne McTaggart (Transplantation (Authorisation of Removal of Organs etc.) (Scotland) Bill), leave out from “agrees” to end and insert "does not agree to the general principles of the Transplantation (Authorisation of Removal of Organs etc.) (Scotland) Bill because it has serious concerns about the practical impact of the specific details in the bill that relate to organ donation rates and transplants; agrees the merits of developing a workable soft opt-out system for Scotland, and calls on the Scottish Government to commence work in preparation for a detailed consultation on further methods to increase organ donations and transplants in Scotland, including soft opt-out, as an early priority in the next parliamentary session, learning from the experiences in Wales, which is currently implementing its own opt-out legislation, and to consider bringing forward legislation as appropriate.”
