The Irish Hospital Consultants Association has said the medical profession has taken on board the views of next-of-kin in relation to the organ retention controversy.

The association also said that changes in practices have been put in place.

IHCA Deputy Secretary-General Donal Duffy said that the concerns of parents had been listened to and acted on.

The association was responding to the Dunne (Post Mortem) Inquiry, which found that doctors may have been arrogant and insensitive in the practice of retaining children's organs but that there was no malice or ulterior motive.

The association said it was pleased that the Madden Report and the Dunne (Post Mortem) Inquiry report had reached the same conclusion.
