Details

The Organs, Tissues and Cells (apart from embryos and gametes) Provisional Common Framework supports the continuity of good working relations, open communication and the maintenance of a compatible minimum set of high standards of safety and quality for organs and non-reproductive tissues and cells.

The framework has been jointly developed by the UK government and devolved governments and has since received Joint Ministerial Committee (EU Negotiations) provisional approval.

This is the latest draft of the framework.
