Submitted by Jonathan Spencer on

Today we are publishing data about incidents reported to HTA during quarter three of  2023 to 2024.  We are also publishing our workforce and expenses information.

HTA licensed establishments in the Post Mortem, Human Application and Organ Donation and Transplantation sector are required to report incidents to the HTA as part of their licensing requirements.  

In the post-mortem sector we call these HTARIs, and those in the Human Application and Organ Donation and Transplantation sectors are called Serious Adverse Events or Reactions (SAEARs).
