Clause 1 - Authorisation of activities for scheduled purposes
Human Tissue Bill
2:45 pm
Dr Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful to the Minister for that explanation. I conceded in my introductory remarks that I was more interested in eliciting the justification of the word ''incidental'' than in praising the suggestion of the word ''inherent''. It strikes me that when the schedule states,
''incidental to medical diagnosis or treatment''
it does not mean incidental to a patient's medical diagnosis or treatment. While she is on the subject, can the Minister explain why that is so, and whether it is a significant difference?
