Seeking Views on Organ and Tissue Donation Legislation.....

 

Under a soft opt-out system, unless a person registers either a wish to be a donor (opt-in) or not to be a donor (opt-out), their consent to donation will be deemed to have been given. However, a person’s family will still have a key role to play in discussions about organ donation. It is anticipated the new system will come into effect in 2015.

 

The consultation was launched by the Health Minister Lesley Griffiths on 18 June. It will run for 12 weeks until 10 September. During this time, a number of workshops aimed at gathering views on the draft legislation will be held as follows:

 

Date	Time	Venue
9th July	14:00 - 16:30	Margam Building, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea
11th July	14:00 - 16:30	Pembrokeshire College, Haverfordwest
12th July	14:00 - 16:30	Orbit Business Centre, Merthyr Tydfil

Cynhelir gweithdai ledled Cymru fel rhan o ymgynghoriad Llywodraeth Cymru ar y Bil Trawsblannu Dynol (Cymru) drafft a fydd yn cyflwyno system feddal o optio allan yng Nghymru mewn perthynas â rhoi organau.

 

Dan system feddal o optio allan, oni bai fod rhywun yn cofrestru ei ddymuniad i fod naill ai’n rhoddwr (sef optio i mewn) neu i beidio â bod yn rhoddwr (sef optio allan), cymerir yn ganiataol eu bod wedi cydsynio. Fodd bynnag, bydd gan deulu’r person dan sylw ran bwysig i’w chwarae wrth drafod y mater o roi organau. Rhagwelir y daw’r system newydd i rym yn 2015.

 

Cafodd yr ymgynghoriad ei lansio gan Lesley Griffiths, y Gweinidog Iechyd, ar 18 Mehefin. Bydd yn rhedeg am 12 wythnos tan 10 Medi. Yn ystod y cyfnod ymgynghori, cynhelir y gweithdai a ganlyn i gasglu barn am y ddeddfwriaeth ddrafft:

 

Rydym am i gymaint o bobl â phosib ddod i roi eu barn am y ddeddfwriaeth ddrafft. Os byddwch am ddod, cysylltwch â’r Tîm Deddfwriaeth ar Roi Organau trwy ffonio 029 2082 1427 neu anfon e-bost i organdonation@wales.gsi.gov.uk
