The Minister for Health is being called upon to legislate on organ retention.

Labour's Health Spokesperson Liz McManus says there must be a new urgency given to measures dealing with the retention and use of body tissue in Irish hospitals.

She's making the call after an independently-published report in Britain stated that 100,000 body parts - including the heads of babies - were kept by UK hospitals.
