Update for Post Mortem Sector Licensees: Revised Incident Reporting Guidelines
HTA publishes revised guidance on reporting incidents in the post mortem sector.
Post Mortem
HTA data for quarter three of 2023 to 2024
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).
HTA publish licence fee levels for the 2023 to 2024 business year
As an executive agency of the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC), we are funded from Grant-in-Aid from the DHSC and devolved administrations and through licence fees charged to licensed establishments.

The webinar will be an opportunity for those who work in mortuaries where post-mortem examinations take place that are licensed and inspected by the HTA.
It will be an opportunity to talk through the challenges of winter pressures, contingency planning, flow vs storage of bodies, share best practice and learn about the support HTA can provide.
Burials at sea
Every year around twenty people make the choice to be buried at sea off the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately in a small number of instances human remains have washed back to shore, resulting in an unusual challenge for the Human Tissue Authority and our partners.
