Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority as an independent regulator.
The Public Bodies Review Programme began its review of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in March 2023, as part of its regular review process of all Government Arm’s Length Bodies. The review is due to conclude later this year. The Department will consider the report and its recommendations upon their publication.
