These Regulations further amend the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations 2005 (“the principal Regulations”), which implement Directive 2002/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council setting out the standards of quality and safety for the collection, testing, processing, storage and distribution of human blood and blood components(1) and related Commission Directives(2).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 22 of the principal Regulations and increases the fees payable by blood establishments and hospital blood banks or facilities in relation to authorisation, operation, and haemovigilance. It introduces new methods of calculating the rates, and new rates for inspections. The overall average fee increase is around 8%.
