This is a 69% increase on the previous 12 months, which saw 265,000 people registering their decision through the app.'Opt-out system'In England, the laws surrounding organ donation were altered, in May 2020, to presume adults consent unless they specifically record a decision to the contrary.But families still retain the ability to refuse organ donation.
Only about 1% of people can donate - usually those who die in an intensive care unit or emergency department following brain injuries or cardiac arrest.
