Strange with so much news recently how quiet the BODY-UK group is!! Because of
the extra work load I haven't been able to 'gee' things along.
It started with the person who won the Lottery and would swap it (wishfully)
for a kidney transplant. The Government released their findings on Conditional
Donation (Law has higher priority than saving life!). It was also announced
that the UKTSSA (UK Transplant Support Service Authority) would be reorganized
and renamed. This was followed by the BMA (British Medical Association)
highlighting their pursuance of Opt Out. Then the RCN (Royal College of
Nursing) debated Opt Out and rejected the idea. Concurrent with this were three
transplant stories, Sally Newcastle (heart transplant), baby Tace in Cardiff
(died waiting heart tx) and a boy in Edinburgh (liver transplant).
Do you have any comments or other stories to add to the list??
