[1] Procurement organisations
The proposed fee for procurement organisations replaces the current interim fee, which was set until we could assess more accurately the work required to license this new group of establishments under the Human Tissue (Quality and Safety for Human Application) Regulations 2007 (Q&S Regulations).

[2] Simple skin and bone establishments
These are establishments that treat patients with burns (i.e. store autologous skin) or treat patients with serious head injuries (i.e. store autologous skull flaps). Typically storage is in a stand-alone fridge or freezer.

Invoices

For existing licensed establishments, invoices for the 2009/10 fees will be issued as follows:

  • Human application establishments licensed before 5 July 2007 - April
  • Human application establishments licensed from 5 July 2007 and procurement organisations - July
  • Anatomy, research, post mortem and public display establishments - September

For new licence applicants, an invoice will be raised shortly after receipt of the application at the HTA.
