Licences to drive up organ donation
From 1 August, people will have to answer questions about organ donation before they can complete their driving licence application through the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) website.
The new initiative to encourage people to think about organ donation and drive up numbers on the organ donor register has been launched by public health minister Anne Milton.
Expanding on an existing scheme with the DVLA which has seen more than 8.5 million people sign up to the NHS Organ Donor Register, the government now hopes to increase registration even further through a number of prompter questions urging people to consider joining up.
