SDLP Health Spokesperson, Colin McGrath MLA has welcomed the announcement from Minister Swann that he has launched a consultation into statutory opt-out for organ donation.
The South Down MLA commented, “This is fantastic news.
“And I want to pay tribute to all those who campaigned so hard for this, mostly the courageous wee fighter Daithi Mac Gabhann and his family.
