Organ donation

/ / Published in

Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) (17:14:26):

I am very pleased that we were able to put this motion on the table today. This will be a special day. Many of us have been touched by organ donation as loved ones have donated their organs and loved ones have received those organs.

I encourage everybody to become an organ donor. One donation can save 10 lives. I think Jersey Day is a great day. I am sad I am not wearing my jersey right now.

I commend the motion. Motion agreed to.
