A SINGLE mishandled case of organ donation under a new system to be introduced in Wales could wreak ?havoc? on the number of potential donors and organs available, a senior Gwent doctor has warned.

Professor John Saunders fears the Human Transplantation (Wales) Bill creates ?hazards? for the present transplantation programme, with the Organ Donor Register a particular cause for worry.

The Bill will introduce a ?soft? opt-out system of organ donation in Wales, in which people will be deemed to have consented to donate organs in the event of their death, unless they have stated otherwise.
