Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill
"The hon. Gentleman is making an impassioned, fantastic speech. I do not know if he is aware that I have had a transplant. It came from a friend, a live donor, rather than from a deceased person. A transplant is hugely important to people who are on dialysis due to …..."Khalid Mahmood - View Speech

Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill
"I thank the Minister for making that point. Under the current system, when people have a donation card, it is still the responsibility of the next of kin to make the decision to donate.

Written Question
Thursday 15th December 2016
Asked by:
Khalid Mahmood (Labour - Birmingham, Perry Barr)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps his Department has taken to establish ways of encouraging BME organ donations.
Answered by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
As of 9 December 2016, there were 1,851 people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities waiting for an organ transplant. This represents around 29% of the active transplant list. Around 5% of all deceased organ donors came from BAME communities.
There are a number of specific initiatives to increase the number of organ donors from BAME communities. These include the National BAME Transplant Alliance to coordinate the work of BAME organisations working within these communities, a Peer Educator Project working with the Pakistani Muslim Community in Birmingham and the Bangladeshi community in Tower Hamlets and NHS Blood and Transplant has developed a behaviour change campaign strategy in support of the Taking Organ Transplantation to 2020: A UK Strategy. This includes increasing its education and engagement activities with BAME communities and a Faith Action Plan outlining action to work in partnership with faith leaders.

Katie Road NHS Walk-in Centre
"The issue of such walk-in centres closing down is difficult for all of us in our constituencies.
