Human tissue Bill

Summary

Peter Fitzpatrick seeks legislation requiring consent for post-mortems and tissue use; the Taoiseach says work is continuing but gives no publication date.

When is the human tissue Bill expected to be published? This is to meet the key recommendation of the Madden report that no hospital post mortems should be carried out and no tissue obtained after post mortems without consent. It will also address other matters relating to human tissue, including consent arrangements for transplantation and research purposes.

There is no date for publication of the Bill, but there is a great deal of work and discussion going on about the matters to which it refers.
