Add carrying a card to QOF

Why not make possession of a donor card a QOF (quality and outcomesframework) target?¹

A question about possession of a donor card is fairly simplebut if the practice was required to discuss donation, and obtaininformed consent, this would require more resources.

The information could be available on the NHS spine, althoughI share concerns about awareness of contraindications to donation.
