The National Scene

Map of UKIt seems that almost every day there is a revelation about organ retention or disposal somewhere in the country, but nowhere has it happened on the scale of Alder Hey.

There is a national organisation NACOR (National Committee Relating to Organ Retention) that is campaigning for a national public inquiry on the issue.

PITY II has considered joining this campaign, but felt that as we had our own Inquiry and our own issues to be considered it was better to stay as an independent group to obtain answers to our questions rather than to become part of a larger campaign. Once the Independent Inquiry on Alder Hey has reported we will look at the situation again.


 

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.
