Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they anticipate needing to update legislation in response to the forthcoming European Commission Regulation on standards of quality and safety for substances of human origin intended for human application and repealing Directives 2002/98/EC and 2004/23/E.

Once the final legal text for the Standards of quality and safety for substances of human origin intended for human application and repealing is published, we will fully consider and assess any impact of the revised regulation.
