Retained Organs Commission

The Retained Organs Commission held its last public meeting on February 5th in London. It was attended by families and individuals from around the country including representatives from PITY II.

Disappointment was expressed by some of those attending the meeting that the new Human Tissue Authority would not be in place when the Commission ceased to exist on the 31st March.

Following the closure of the Commission some of the functions of the ROC will transfer to Strategic Health Authorities. A copy of the latest ROC guidance has been issued to Strategic Health Authorities and NHS Trusts. A list of SHA contacts is available from the PITY II office.

The Commission's web-site will continue to be available for a period of twelve month's but will not be updated after the above date.

 

PITY II (Parents who have Interred Their Young Twice) is the parents' support group set up in the wake of the organ retention scandal
at Alder Hey Hospital (Liverpool, UK). It aims to provide self help support and advice to affected families.
