Answer
The current regulatory framework sets high quality and safety standards for organs for transplantation and the Government would seek continued collaboration with the European Union in this area. Planning is ongoing so the Government can make the necessary changes to national regulations to maintain day one operability for sharing organs with EU countries under any EU exit scenario.
