“Legislation alone is not enough to increase consent rates and there is a need to do more to align with very high public support for organ donation”
What Anthony Clarkson has said
“Diabetes is a potentially serious condition, which can lead to kidney failure or the need for dialysis and for some people the only option to survive is a kidney or pancreas transplant.
