Clause 24 - Provision with respect to consent
Human Tissue Bill
4:15 pm
Ms Rosie Winterton (Minister of State, Department of Health; Doncaster Central, Labour)
If an individual was worried that all the people in the qualifying relationship would do things with their body that they did not want to be done, they would have the option of nominating a representative who could make decisions. I also expect that if a person had left specific instructions, they would be taken into account. However, as I said, if there were a real fear, there is provision in the Bill for an individual to have a nominated representative whom they were confident would carry out their wishes.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 24, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 25 and 26 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
