View answerThe Programme for Government includes a commitment to "Enact the Human Tissue Bill".
The drafting of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill is a priority for the Government.
My Department is progressing work on the drafting of the Bill in collaboration with the Office of Parliamentary Council with a view to ensuring that Government approval is secured to publish the Bill before the end of 2021. It is hoped that the Bill will then be progressed through the Houses of the Oireachtas.
