People encouraged to tell families about donor choice

A campaign is taking place that focuses on the role families play in the organ donation process.

It's claimed an individual's choice to donate their organs is being over-ridden by family members because they didn't talk to them about their decision.

Figures show just over a third of people in the UK have told their families they want to be a donor.

 

As a result many potential lifesaving transplants are being missed.
