Fertility: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to update regulations in the fertility industry.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) published Modernising Fertility Law in November 2023, which made a number of recommendations for legislative change, including around its regulatory powers. Ministers have met with the HFEA Chair and discussed the emerging regulatory challenges.
The Government is considering the HFEA’s priorities for changing the law and will decide how to take this forward at the earliest opportunity.
