HTA publishes operational data
- Inspections
Today we are publishing data about licences and inspections. This data covers activity from April 2017 to March 2023.
For a small regulator, the Human Tissue Authority has a wide roll. We license over 900 premises across 6 sectors. The scale of our contribution encompasses education, public confidence, and dignity in death with licenses for medical schools, mortuaries, and museums.
Our team of regulation managers completed 210 inspections last year, from Glasgow to the Isle of Wight.
In 2023 to 2024 we will be working hard to increase that to 222 inspections.
Operation data
In 2023 to 2024 we aim to increase the number of data sets we make available. By making a wide range of information available to the public, we aim to be more transparent.

Our regulation often takes the form of issuing licences to establishments allowing them to carry out specific activities according to our guidelines.
Regulatory Assessments
Under the Human Tissue Act 2004 the HTA has a statutory responsibility to assess whether the conditions of a licence and licensing standards are met, in relation to the suitability of the DI, licence holder, premises and practices.
