BODY-UK was launched on 3 January 2000 and currently has a membership of 77
subscribers. There have been 196 messages the last being sent on 7 July 2006,
18 months ago!

Since the last message the Human Tissue Act 2004 has been fully implemented,
the Dept of Health has launched a schools education package on organ donation
and transplantation and the Organ and Transplantation Task Force has published
its Report with 14 recommendations to improve UK organ donation. Organs for
sale, Presumed Consent Opt Out and tourist transplants topics have been greatly
discussed. Plenty of opportunity for discussion within BODY-UK.

BODY has had a difficult 15 months but has emerged with a stronger Committee
supported by 3 new and experienced officers. John and Margaret Evans are
pleased to be semi retired and were very pleased to accept the position of
BODY joint Presidents.

Comments welcomed.

John Evans
