Pass the Organ Donation Opt Out Law in Northern Ireland

Use your powers to enact the secondary legislation required and pass the Organ Donation Opt-Out - Dáithí's Law- without delay.

Why is this important?

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where an opt-out system for organ donation is not yet in place. This law has passed through the NI Assembly and been given Royal Assent, but is now delayed on a technicality because of the stalemate at Stormont.

This law would give people like 6 year old Dáithí MacGabhann a better chance of a life-saving transplant. That's why people from all corners of the UK are demanding that the Secretary of State uses his powers to put this law in place now.
