Arm's length bodies review - HTA consultation

Proposals to change responsibility for regulating fertility treatment and human tissue are set out today with the launch of a consultation on the future of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) and the Human Tissue Authority (HTA).

The UK-wide consultation will consider whether the regulators' responsibilities should move to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Health Research Authority.
