The next petition is PE283, from the Scottish Organisation Relating to the Retention of Organs—SORRO. It calls on the Scottish Parliament to initiate a public inquiry into the practice of organ retention at post mortem without the appropriate parental consent. That has been an issue for some time and the Executive has published Professor McLean's report on it. Unless someone else can tell me this information now, I think that we should try to find out from the Executive when it intends to introduce legislation to implement the McLean report. I suggest that we then return to the three petitions on the issue.

The record
3 contributionsMembers indicated agreement.
We have also received further information from Justice for the Innocents, formerly Scottish Parents for a Public Inquiry into Organ Retention, on PE370. Lydia Reid, the main petitioner, has contacted us and I am sure that many members will have heard from her previously. Having asked for clarification, we will return to the matter at a later date. Aside from PE283 and PE370, we will clarify the point about post mortems in relation to PE406.
