This question was answered on 16th June 2015
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that, as part of its Information for Quality program, it will in future collect information on the methods of freezing, vitrification or slow-freeze. The HFEA will also work closely with researchers to enable longer term research.
