The Sun Donor Card Campaign

EDM number 598 in 1999-00, proposed by Paul Marsden on 04/04/2000.

That this House welcomes The Sun newspaper's donor card campaign, which highlights for fact that 4,000 patients are in need of transplants each year; notes that, whilst 18 million donor cards are in circulation, only 12 million people carry them; urges The Sun's 10 million readers to carry donor cards and register their support with the NHS Organ Donor Register; and supports the Government in its aim of increasing the number of people carrying donor cards and reducing the transplant waiting lists.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
