A group campaigning for a better organ donor system says Ministry of Health recommendations on the issue don't go far enough.

The Ministry recommends the Government continue with an organ donor consent register, announced last year.

It suggests three options for who can give consent for the person's organs to be used for science or transplantation.

But Andy Tookey from the group, Give Life, says the review is a cop-out because the options still let family members override the dead person's wish to be a donor.

The Ministry's chief clinical advisor, Dr Sandy Dawson, says the register will ensure there is an informed consent process.
