Public Health Isle of Man issues advice
Manx residents have reported having issues registering their organ donation decision by phone.
The Human Tissue and Organ Donation Act, or 'Daniel's Law', was granted Royal Assent in 2021, named in memory of Daniel Boyde whose heart, liver, pancreas and kidneys, saved four lives after his death in 2007.
Decisions can be registered online here or over the phone but there have been issues with the phone option for callers from the Island.
If you’re calling the NHS Organ Donor Register, dial 0300 123 23 23, then select Option 2 for organ donation, followed by Option 2 to speak to an agent who can help you.
There is currently a recorded message about the change in the law to opt out.
This message relates to the change in England’s law and does not refer to the Isle of Man’s.
Public Health says it's working with NHS Blood and Transplant to update that message urgently.
All organ donation registration data is managed centrally by the NHS.
Public Health says it does not have access to personal organ donation records and cannot make changes on behalf of individuals.
