Human Tissue Bill

Statement from the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association.

“The Irish Lung Fibrosis Association (ILFA) warmly welcomes the publication of the Human Tissue BIll especially the provision for the introduction of a soft-opt organ donation consent system. ILFA has campaigned with members of the Irish Donor Network for an opt-out organ donation system and we look forward to the benefits this legislation will bring with time. We urge the government, HSE and Department of Health to commit adequate resources and investment in infrastructure and personnel to ensure that organ donation and transplantation services in Ireland are maximised to their full potential.”
