England != UK
(I don't know what the law in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is, might be that England is just the last of UKs nations to make opt-out standard)
- Silhouette 6y agoOpt-out is the position in Wales already. Scotland is working on it but as far as I'm aware it hasn't completed the required legislative process yet. NI is still opt-in.
- edh649 6y agoApparently it became law in Scotland in July 2019, and will become opt-out in Scotland in March 2021 https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/uk-laws/organ-donation-law-in-scotland/ https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk/uk-laws/organ-donation-law-...
- Silhouette 6y agoThanks. That does say it received Royal Assent, so the legislative process has indeed finished now, the relevant preovisions just haven't come into effect yet.
