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.

Hello John and Margaret,



Congratulations on your joint presidency!



We're still here in Australia and looking forward to a re-energised group.



Wishing you both all the very best,



Vicki & Paul

Hi Paul and Vicki,



Thank you for your congrats.



Yes, it would be good to see more action in BODY-UK. Due to some internal

difficulties within the previous BODY Trustees, I and other Trustees have had

our hands full getting back to a positive and progressive position.



This being achieved I will update you directly.



Wishing you and Vicki every success and good health,

John and Margaret
