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). 

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.

Human Tissue Authority Board Meeting

We've published updated versions of our Codes of Practice (except Code F, Part two: Deceased organ and tissue donation which was published on 1 June 2023). 

We’ve published new inspection reports from establishments in research, human application, organ donation and transplantation, and post-mortem sectors. 

We’ve published an updated version of 

The Organ and Tissue Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill (the Bill) was passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly in February 2022. The legislation is due to come into effect in Northern Ireland in Spring 2023. It will amend the interpretation of ‘appropriate consent’ as set out in the Human Tissue Act 2004 for Northern Ireland (NI) and introduce an ‘opt-out’ system for deceased organ and tissue donation.
