Following permission in October 2017 to bring forward a Private Members Bill, Mr Martyn Perkins MHK sought views from the public on draft legislation about introducing a ‘presumed consent’ system for organ donation between 29 March 2018 and 8 June 2018. The intention of the Bill is to increase the number of people willing to become an organ donor.
In total 292 responses were received: 96% of the responses were from Isle of Man residents and 98% were from private individuals.
• 82 people gave their permission to publish their response in full
• 157 people gave their permission to publish anonymously
• 53 people did not give consent to publish their response
When asked whether they are a registered organ donor, people responded:
• Yes: 166 (57%)
• No: 79 (27%)
• Don’t know: 18 (6%)
• No – but I have thought about registering: 15 (5%)
• No – I don’t know how to register: 11 (4%)
• Not answered: 3 (1%)
A number of respondents had had experience of part of the process of organ donation. 89% of respondents had discussed organ donation with family members or next of kin.
Mr Perkins is grateful to all those who took the time to submit their views to this consultation.
