Government announce opt-out system for organ donation | 5 August 2018  |   Andrew Webster

Excerpt from the article:

‘The new ‘opt-out’ system is expected to come into effect in England in spring 2020, and could lead to hundreds more people receiving life-saving transplants every year. 

The change will mean that people will be presumed to consent to donating their organs unless they register their decision to opt-out on the NHS organ donation register.’
