The Government approved the preparation of a General Scheme and Heads of a Human Tissue Bill last year. The proposed legislation will include provisions on:
- organ donation and transplantation;
- post-mortem practices;
- anatomical examination/education and training; and
- public display of bodies after death.
Work on drafting the General Scheme is progressing and it is proposed to seek Government approval to publish, and to progress the drafting of the Human Tissue Bill, in the coming months.
