ALDER Hey hospital has revealed its plans for the disposal of more than 10,000 body parts from the organ retention scandal.
The foetuses, organs and tissue samples relating to 10,000 children have been stored on hold for five years to allow parents time to decide what they want to do.
Now families are being given six months to come forward if they still want to make their own arrangements for private burial.
Many of the organs and foetuses were taken between 1988 and 1995 under orders by Dutch pathologist Dick van Velzen.
Van Velzen systematically ordered the unethical and illegal stripping of every organ from every child who had a post-mortem during his time at the hospital.
