SUMMARY |
|
|
|
The purpose of this enactment is to establish a National Organ Donor
Registry. The Registry may consist of a system by which existing data
is linked and may be partly or entirely electronic in form. The Registry
is to be administered by a chief executive officer known as the Registrar
of Organ Donors.
|
|
|
|
It requires the Registrar to consult with provinces to bring about
sufficient conformity in provincial human organ donation legislation to
allow a national Registry to operate.
|
|
|
|
The Minister may make agreements to allow provinces to participate
if they have sufficiently conforming legislation. The enactment
provides for confidentiality and mandates annual reports and a five year
review of its operation by Parliament.
|
|
|
|
The enactment will facilitate the establishment of a fully national
information exchange on organ donation between provinces.
