Bereaved families whose relatives' organs were removed without permission are being invited to a meeting on November 19 to talk to hospital staff.

Support group Legacy Faborio is holding the event so people can meet the Retained Organs Office team, from the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust.

The trust, responsible for Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Radcliffe Infirmary, and The Horton, Banbury, set up the help team following revelations that 4,400 organs, including hearts and brains, were taken for research and teaching purposes.

Staff has since liaised with about 1,800 families.

The Legacy Faborio meeting is being held at Thames Valley Health Authority, Jubilee House, Oxford Business Park South, Cowley, Oxford.
