IVF
Asked by: Lord Winston (Labour - Life peer) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many human eggs (oocytes) were harvested and frozen by vitrification between the years 2014–24 for social purposes according to records kept by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority; and how many of these eggs were subsequently thawed in order to undertake clinical treatment using in vitro fertilisation. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority does not hold information on the method of freezing for the whole period requested, or the reasons eggs were frozen. Data is available from 2014 to 2023 showing 263,692 eggs collected for patients’ own use in egg storage and 33,861 eggs thawed for patients’ own use. |

IVF
Asked by: Lord Winston (Labour - Life peer) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what provisions they have put in place to ensure medical follow up of children who were conceived by in vitro fertilisation following oocyte freezing. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), as the United Kingdom wide regulator of fertility treatment, has no statutory role in the medical follow up for children conceived through in vitro fertilisation, including instances where thawed eggs are used in treatment. The HFEA’s expert Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee monitors new studies relating to assisted reproductive technologies, including any impact on children born from treatments. |

IVF
Asked by: Lord Winston (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 14th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government how many women having uterine transfer of one or more embryo(s) produced from frozen oocytes after thawing had a positive pregnancy test between 2014-24; and how many of these pregnancies resulted in a spontaneous abortion (1) before 12 weeks of gestation, and (2) after 13 weeks of gestation. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The information is not available in the format requested. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) holds information on the number of pregnancies, interpreted as instances where one of more foetal heart pulsation was recorded, and records of total numbers of miscarriages, not by weeks, from 2014 to 2023 which is shown in the following table:
The data is as shown on the HFEA’s register database on 17 December 2025. This is a live database so these figures reflect the data on this day and are likely to change over time. This reflects time needed for clinics to submit data and undergo validation as stated on the HFEA register. Data shown includes only treatments using patients own thawed eggs. |
