In December 2006, The UK Government set up the Organ Donation Taskforce to identify barriers to organ donation and recommend actions needed to increase organ donation and procurement within the current legal framework.
The Taskforce was asked to:
- take stock of progress within the context of the UK's ten year transplant framework (published in 2003)
- to identify barriers to organ donation
- to recommend what action needs to be taken to increase organ donation and procurement within the current legal framework.

Famous quotes containing the word organ:
“And this mighty master of the organ of language, who knew its every stop and pipe, who could awaken at will the thin silver tones of its slenderest reeds or the solemn cadence of its deepest thunder, who could make it sing like a flute or roar like a cataract, he was born into a country without literature.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
