Barry MaggieHon MAGGIE BARRY (National—North Shore): Thank you Mr Speaker. I rise to speak with pleasure at the second reading of the Organ Donors and Related Matters Bill and as in common with the member who has just resumed his seat Ron Mark I too have organ donor" on my driver's licence and I use every opportunity I can to encourage others to do that.This piece of legislation that we're discussing at the moment is to do with the member's bill that my colleague Chris Bishop put through in 2017. It's something that really has been close to a lot of us. We thought about it a lot. We understand that it is soul destroying being on a waiting list—and there are 550 people on the waiting list at the moment for organ donation. We don't tend to donate our bodies very much after we die so the deceased organ donation is moribund. And that's why this particular piece of legislation and the original member's bill that it supported has been so essential and it's been very successful as well. You know when you look at the way that New Zealand has picked up on this and the people that have had compensation as a result of donating live organs which is not something to be taken lightly I've spoken to people who've donated kidneys and so forth and it is quite a long recovery process—psychologically it has its moments. So I think it was an excellent idea and it's been well picked up by people.As the other speaker has noted the New Zealand Blood Service is the correct entity for this to go to. I'm on the Health Committee and certainly we talked about the various prospects but changing the name of the Blood Service is certainly an important thing to do.We argued a bit around what are "normal hours" or "reduced hours" and there were definitions that needed to be done. The select committee process I think worked very well there because we identified the unintended consequences that could occur if people were going back to work but could only do part time because of the nature of the recovery process. We have now I think come up with something that is going to be workable and going to be very clear. So "usual hours" was interpreted and defined more strongly. So there are new subsections 5 and 6 in section 10 of the Act and that is why I think again this piece of legislation needs to go through fairly quickly because it will certainly tidy things up and encourage people even more to donate their organs.The other loophole that we looked to close and define was overseas organ donors because it is possible logistically to have organs that come from a person from another country—it has to all be done very quickly as you'd imagine. But there was a feeling that people in Australia for example might also be benefiting and getting extra compensation and kind of double dipping. So this is one of the things that we clarified and that is in clause 9A of the bill. We've got the new Schedule 5 in the Act and that's going to list the names and the details of approved overseas organ exchange programmes which again is a very good thing. In a small population of under 5 million it isn't easy to find the organs and find that ones that are compatible.So these are measures that have been put in place and I think along with the compensation element—and we're inserting a new clause 8 into Schedule 1 around that—it will build on and add strength to a piece of legislation that has already been very successful. So I commend it to the House."
