NHS Grampian Makes Documentary for Organ Donation Week
The motion
That the Parliament recognises that NHS Grampian has launched a documentary paying tribute to those who have donated organs as part of Organ Donation Week, which runs from 2 to 8 September 2019; understands that the film will be on permanent display at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) and features north east people who have benefited from organ transplants, as well as relatives of organ donors; acknowledges that, throughout Organ Donation Week, there has also been an information stall at ARI to help explain the upcoming changes to the law on organ donation; notes that, while there are 250,000 people across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire who are signed up to the UK Organ Donor Register, there are many more people who could help save the life of someone needing a transplant; welcomes the proactive approach being taken by NHS Grampian to promote organ donation, and hopes that information campaigns such as, combined with the change in the law, will see even more successful transplant operations take place in Scotland in the future.
