The depth and breadth of experience and knowledge each brings to the HTA will be invaluable in helping us continue to ensure the safe and ethical use of human tissue as the sectors we regulate evolve, develop, and innovate. I look forward to working with them all and know they will find a friendly and supportive team at the HTA.

 I would also like to thank those members who are soon to or have recently stepped down from membership of the Board. I am very grateful to Lorna Williamson, Penney Lewis, Jan Williams, and Stuart Dollow for their service to the HTA and by extension to helping ensure public confidence is maintained in the sensitive area of how human tissue and organs are regulated”.
