What is a Special Procedure?

1986 (“the Act”). Section 3 of the Act states that a special procedure is:
• Any procedure that is intended, or is reasonably likely, to have the effect of rendering permanently infertile the person on whom it is carried out; or
• Any procedure carried out for the purposes of medical research; or
• Termination of pregnancy; or
• Any removal of tissue for the purposes of transplantation to another person; or
• Any other medical or dental treatment that is prescribed by the regulations to be a special procedure for the purposes of Part 4A.
The VCAT Application for Special Procedure asks
Is the person homeless? Yes No
Place of birth (if you know)
You must include spouse, partner, parents, children, step children
Does the person you are applying about have any known relatives and/or interested parties?
Yes No
So, VCAT ordering the removal of tissue for the purposes of transplantation to another person who is homeless and no known relatives and/or interested parties, poses problems.

Better put: VCAT ordering the removal of tissue for the purposes of transplantation from someone who is homeless and with no known relatives and/or interested parties, poses problems.
The person from whom the tissue is removed may be homeless.
