DONATION
1409. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Health:
I refer the minister to the Human
Tissue and Transplant Regulations in Western Australia and to any associated

(2) If yes, will the minister please provide a list of
such regulations and the reason behind their individual adoption?
