Commentary on provisions of Act Section 2: Consequential amendments
Section 2 makes further amendments to the 2004 Act as a consequence of the amendments made by section 1 to section 3 of the 2004 Act. Section 2 inserts in the 2004 Act a new subsection into section 1 after subsection (9B), and amends subsection (10)(c) to allow for the storage and use in Northern Ireland of relevant material removed from a human body in England for transplantation purposes.
	This section also inserts two new subsections in section 27 of the 2004 Act (provision with respect to consent). These new provisions place a duty on the Human Tissues Authority (HTA) to give practical guidance on how deemed consent will work in practice, including guidance about the provision of information by a family member or friend of the deceased to override the presumption of consent.
	This section amends section 52 of the 2004 Act to set out that the delegated power in section 1 for the Secretary of State to make regulations to specify relevant material to which deemed consent will not apply, is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure. It also sets out with whom the Secretary of State shall consult with on such regulations (subsections (5) to (7)).
