This Order specifies persons responsible for the operation or control of specified museums for the purposes of section 6A(2) of the Anatomy Act 1984 (“the Act”). This Order comes into force on 1st September 2006.

Section 6A(1) of the Act prohibits a person from publicly displaying an anatomical specimen, a body or part of a body which has been used for anatomical examination, or a body or part of a body which has been used outwith Scotland for anatomical examination or examination which has the characteristics of anatomical examination. Section 6A(3) to (8) of the Act provide for certain circumstances where that prohibition is disapplied. Those circumstances include a requirement that the display be authorised by a licence granted by the Scottish Ministers under section 6A(9) of the Act.

The persons specified in article 2 and the Schedule, responsible for the operation or control of the museums specified there, are not required to have such a public display authorised by a licence granted by the Scottish Ministers under section 6A(9) of the Act.
