Under the new system, which comes into effect next year, consent will be presumed unless people have opted out.
Currently, there is a voluntary opt-in scheme. Presumed consent has been operating in Wales since December 2015.
Organ donation consent rates in Wales are now the highest in the UK at 75%. BBC News
