‹ Order of Business Human tissue Bill
Summary
The Deputy asks when the human tissue Bill will be published to implement Madden report recommendations on post-mortem consent, tissue retention, transplantation and research. The Taoiseach says consultation has ended but no publication date is set.
When can we expect publication of the human tissue Bill? This will meet the key recommendations of the Madden report that no hospital post mortems may be carried out and that no tissue may be retained after post mortems without consent.
It will also address other matters relating to human tissue, including consent arrangements for transplantations and research purposes.
